It never ventures above the lowest levels.-Earth orbit, HubbleHigh above: the Blurring of the Its atmosphere provides an unparalleled vantage point for investigating phenomena across the globe the cosmos:
Comet crash: In 1994 Hubble witnessed a rare solar system cataclysm—a series of Jupiter’s comet strikes, which gave rise to Earth-sized plumes of Vaporized debris the Atmosphere of giant planet.
Star birth: Because of its unrivalled resolution, Hubble Previously hidden stellar processes have been revealed. Its most famous image is of a dramatic hotbed. of Star creation: the Eagle Nebula.
Warped space: Exploiting Einstein’s general theory of relativity, Hubble It has been used the Space-Property warping of Conglomerations of immense size of matter, such galaxy clusters, to detect and locate dark matter and far-off galaxies.
Deep time: In 2003–2004 Hubble It trained its instruments in a small, almost blank spot. of Sky for a total of 268 hours recording thousands of distant galaxies in the The most detailed optical view ever taken of the The early universe
