What We
Have Learned from the Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope has made many very
important scientific discoveries. Three of the most exciting findings
are:
- The Birth of Stars. The Hubble has
seen areas of condensing gas and dust, indicating the formation of new
stars
- The Evolution of Galaxies. The
great sensitivity of the Hubble’s cameras have allowed scientists to
discover and study galaxies that are extremely far from Earth
- Looking at Pluto. The Hubble has also
studied the Solar System, and had provided the first close-up look at
the surface of the planet Pluto.
The Hubble Space Telescope and its discoveries
will continue to fascinate us for many years. |
