Hubble Space Telescope


Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope was just upgraded to become a higher performing observatory again. They replaced its camera to one that works more efficiently. The new camera is more light sensitive, and not blurry. They also added a cooling instrument onto the camera, so it is at an operating tempurature. NASA Astronauts repaired the space telescope.
I chose this picture taken by the Hubble Space Telescope because I believe it shows how excelent the new camera is. This is a very clear and colorful picture of Stephan's Quintet. This shows a group of five galaxies.
