Program: "The Hubble Space Telescope - 35 years of Science!"

When Hubble launched in 1990, astronomers had great expectations for what this telescope would teach us about the Universe. From examining nearby star forming regions to probing the deepest depths of the early universe, the Hubble Space Telescope has transformed our understanding of the cosmos. As we celebrate Hubble’s 35th anniversary in space, we’ll take a look back at some of its historic photos, explore some recent discoveries, and look towards the future to see what Hubble might reveal to us next.
