THIS DAY IN HISTORY- April 25, 1990: Space Telescope put into orbit
The crew of the U.S. space shuttle Discovery places the Hubble Space Telescope, a long-term space-based observatory, into a low orbit around Earth.
Free of atmospheric distortions, Hubble has a resolution 10 times that of ground-based observatories. About the size of a bus, the telescope is solar-powered and orbits Earth once every 97 minutes. Among its many astronomical achievements, Hubble has been used to record a comet's collision with Jupiter, provide a direct look at the surface ofPluto, view distant galaxies, gas clouds, and black holes, and see billions of years into the universe's past
