Hubble Space Telescope

On clear nights the naked eye can see far into space, viewing objects that are billions of light years away. Man in his cleverness, invented a gadget that could bring some of these bodies into focus. Because of this technology, we were able to create better and better telescopes, including the Space Hubble Telescope. On your journey through this quest, you will learn more about the telescope and some of the formations that have been photographed.
