On April 24, 1990; the #HubbleSpaceTelescope went into orbit. Named after astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble, it has provided many beautiful images of space throughout the entirety of its time in orbit. It has literally been our eyes to the universe. So much of what we can see in our universe was made possible thanks in part to the Hubble Space Telescope. This post is more a digest rather than something detailed or something made for a school/college essay or report. I would want this to be a detailed post, but I decided to make this more a semi-casual post that still shares my overall respect for what the Hubble Space Telescope has provided.
This long video provides the greatest insight on this great telescope and just what it means to learning more about our universe:

I also want to share this video, featuring some of the many beautiful images the Hubble Space Telescope was able to capture. This video only goes up to 2012, but it is worth watching if you want to see some amazing cosmic displays:

All I can say is that the Hubble Space Telescope is surely one of human's greatest creations. It has literally been our eye to the rest of the universe... not to mention an "eye" that has had to be repaired a time or two to enhance its abilities and what all it is able to capture about our universe.
If you want to take something away from this post, the main concept to grasp is that we live in a fascinating and awesome universe. We wouldn't know how much so had it not been for creations like the Hubble Space Telescope. Anything that helps open our eyes to the universe we live in is surely special and important. The Hubble Space Telescope has expanded our knowledge of our universe. So often these days, we learn more and more about our universe with the Hubble Space Telescope and through the many different advancements in research and development by various space exploration agencies and missions. Most of what we are able to see and observe is all mostly thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope.

This has been a semi-casual post. Since the original date of this blog post is on April 24, 2015, let me say this:
Happy Silver (25th) birthday, Hubble Space Telescope!
I'll blog about almost anything, and I'm sure/hopeful you'll probably like it. I hope you appreciated my brief blog post taking a look at the Hubble Space Telescope. Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.
