Description:
On April 25, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed! <br/><br/>Hubble is famous for taking some of the most amazing deep-space photos ever. It hitched a ride to space on the space shuttle Discovery with mission STS-31. Also on board were astronauts Charles Bolden, Loren Shriver, Bruce McCandless, Steven Hawley and Kathryn Sullivan. The crew used a Canadian-built robotic arm to deploy Hubble from the shuttle's cargo bay while they were orbiting 332 nautical miles above the Earth. No one knew it at the time, but Hubble wouldn't be taking any pretty pictures anytime soon. When Hubble took its first photos almost a month after it was deployed, the pictures were out of focus because of a flaw in its mirror. Thankfully, the problem was fixable, and astronauts successfully repaired it in 1993.

_earth-has-more-than-one-moon-but-not-for-long.webp "While it may sound like science fiction, Earth indeed has more than one moon, although temporary ones. These mini-moons are usually small asteroids or space debris caught by Earth's gravitational pull. Their stay is brief as they eventually escape back into space or collide with our planet. Astronomers are working on techniques to detect and study these temporary companions to learn more about our celestial dance with passing objects. And that's just one cool fact about the Earth's natural satellite.")
