The Hubble telescope operates for 20 years in the universe
On April 24, the Hubble Space Telescope, one of the most man-made space research tools, has been active for 20 years.
The Hubble telescope was posted by US space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990, opening a new chapter in space research.

During 20 years of operation, the Hubble Space Telescope has observed more than 30,000 celestial bodies, capturing 500,000 images. Hubble's findings have revolutionized most astronomical fields, from planetary science to cosmology.
In addition, the Hubble telescope also plays an important role in disseminating cosmic scientific knowledge, when moving the images of the universe every day to millions of families and schools on Earth.
In May 2009, American astronauts performed the fifth and last maintenance mission to extend the Hubble telescope's operation time, and to install some additional equipment. New scientific research, making this glass the ability to observe 100 times stronger than before.
The latest images sent to Earth by the Hubble telescope are photos of a small part of one of the most visible parts of the Carina Nebula nebula in the Milky Way. It is an image of the top of a column, made up of hydrogen gas and dust of up to 3 light-years in height, rising from the nebula, being sucked into the dazzling light of nearby bright stars. .
On this occasion, the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) introduced new photos sent by Hubble telescope and conducted a number of popular scientific knowledge activities. Online Learning./.
