This 16 min video is NASA’s tribute to the Hubble Space Telescope on its 20th anniversary in space. It surveys the incredible accomplishments of this revolutionary instrument and the fact that we have learned more about the universe since Hubble went up in orbit than during the previous 400 years since Galileo invented the telescope. Things such as black holes, exo-sollar planets, dark energy and dark matter, greater details about the history and evolution of the universe were only some among the many discoveries that Hubble helped us make.
Enjoy!
