After the @NASAHubble Space Telescope launched in 1990, blurry images revealed a problem with the primary mirror.

After several years of careful planning STS-61 was launched on a 5 spacewalk repair mission. The first spacewalk began at 10:44pm (ET) on Dec. 4th, 1993.

#HubbleFriday Seeing the profile of galaxy NGC 3717 can provide a vivid sense of its three-dimensional shape. Spiral galaxies are mostly thin disks, but they have bright, spherical, star-filled centers that extend above and below: https://t.co/udIHfCXo9z

UGC6093 is a barred spiral galaxy — it has beautiful arms that swirl outwards from a bar slicing through the galaxy’s center. It is classified as an active galaxy, which means that it hosts an active galactic nucleus. Read on to find out what that means: https://t.co/pexeLd329k

A cosmic search for a missing arm…This dwarf galaxy, located ~30 million light-years away, reveals a single major spiral galaxy arm, giving it an asymmetric appearance. Why is there only one, when it would normally have at least two? Find out: https://t.co/5vsFLC10W9
