Abstract
When the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed from Space Shuttle Discovery on April 25, 1990, few knew just how far-reaching its impact would be on astronomy, cosmology, and public appreciation of the universe. “It has given us views of the universe that we have never seen before and provided a wealth of data for astronomers around the world to ponder,” says Ken Sembach, head of the Hubble Mission Office at the Space Telescope Science Institute. Hubble also laid the foundation for a new generation of space telescopes.
