Astronomers celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Hubble telescope

This Wednesday (24th) we celebrate the anniversary of 34 years launch of the Hubble in 1990. The telescope He has recorded more than a million observations over three decades and 1.6 million publications have analyzed the data he sent.

NASA (United States Space Agency) made a video highlighting the greatest discoveries it has ever made and the Brazilian National Observatory recalled that Hubble has “been responsible for providing unprecedented images and extremely important data for the development of studies”.

The telescope was placed in orbit to overcome the difficulties of observing space directly from the surface of our planet, such as pollution and the blocking that Earth causes in some wavelengths. In its location, the telescope avoids these interferences and is able to generate images with more details and faithful to reality.

Given how easy it is to maintain and update, Hubble should continue to generate information about our space for many decades to come, alongside data provided by the James Webb Space Telescope.
