In the proceeding centuries, telescopes grew in size, complexity and power.
Edwin Hubble, after which the Hubble Space Telescope is named, used the largest telescope of his day in the 1920s at California’s Mount Wilson Observatory to discover galaxies beyond our own.
The Hubble Space Telescope was the first major optical telescope to be placed in space.
Above the distortion of the atmosphere, far above clouds and light pollution, the Hubble Space Telescope has an unobstructed view of the universe.
