For the uninitiated, the space telescope Hubble from NASA is a large space telescope that was launched in 1990. It’s almost as large as a school bus and travels about 5 miles per second around the Earth, NASA explains. In order to capture clear and crisp photos of planets, stars and galaxies in our universe, Hubble uses advanced technology and equipment. For example, see this amazing image of a lovely “evil eye” galaxy in the sky, captured by Hubble.
