Russia launched the world's largest space telescope

Russia has launched a space telescope ever considered the largest and most powerful expert in the world, designed to look back over billions of light years in an effort to discover the secrets of Space.

Russian scientists say the Spektr-R telescope is launched from the launch rig in Kazakhstan earlier this week and soon began flying into orbit around the Earth.

Spektr-R makers say the telescope is designed to look back over billions of light years.

Scientist Vladimir Bobyshkin in charge of this project thinks that we are on Earth only knowing a small part of what is around the planets and the Sun. ' It sounds like science fiction, but I believe we cannot be the only creatures that exist in space ,' he said.

Bobyshkin said return telescope images would undoubtedly extend the limits of human understanding and begin a revolution in celestial physics when phenomena such as black holes and Black matter can be observed.

Scientists hope to publish the first images later this year.
