Quantum Mechanics Theories and Concepts

The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most amazing machines ever placed in orbit. Able to peer into deepest outer space -- back, indeed, through time itself -- the Hubble has dazzled scientists and citizens alike with is sharp, detailed images of heavenly bodies. First deployed from the Space Shuttle Discovery back in 1990, the telescope endured some early, very public, technical hiccups but has nonetheless patrolled outer space with its roving eye ever since. Step through the pages of this gallery for more pictures of the Hubble Space Telescope as well as some of its fascinating finds.
