Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope, free of the distorting effects of Earth’s atmosphere, has an unprecedented view of distant galaxies. The telescope is capable of recording information in various wavelengths, but its optical telescope has produced some of the most spectacular results. It has revealed some of the most distant and oldest galaxies in the universe and helped astronomers get a clearer picture of our solar system
