The telescope is an indispensable instrument for the investigation of cosmos. In the centuries that followed, different kinds of telescopes were introduced to study space; they grew in their size and complexity and some power as well. The famous Hubble Space Telescope is named after Edwin Hubble as a tribute to his contribution to the field on Astronomy. Thanks to the five successful servicing missions as well as more than 25 years of operation, the view of our universe has never been so interesting and magnificent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hubble has been serving the humanity way beyond its supposed lifespan of two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1502\" height=\"735\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula.jpg?fit=1024%2C501&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-347249 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula.jpg 1502w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula-1024x501.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1502px) 100vw, 1502px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1502px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1502\/735;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1502\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula.jpg?fit=1024%2C501&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-347249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula.jpg 1502w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/hubble-travel-telscope-nebula-1024x501.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1502px) 100vw, 1502px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>History:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hubble was considered to be a total waste of money as the onboard equipment had defects when it was first deployed in orbit. On the 24<sup>th<\/sup> of April, 1990, the Space Shuttle Discovery successfully lifted off from earth with the Hubble Space Telescope, which was nestled safely in its bay. The next day, this telescope was released into space and was ready to peer into the huge unknown of space, presenting the mankind with a glimpse of the distant and exotic cosmic shores which were yet to be discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA lets anyone borrow the time on Hubble. Any interested person can send a proposal to further requires time to carry out experiments using the Hubble Space Telescope.
