The Hubble Space Telescope mesmerises the world with its breathtaking images of stars, magnificent galaxies, colourful star-forming nebulae and planets.

It is also transforming our scientific understanding of the universe, through discoveries regarding black holes, active galaxies, dark matter, mysterious dark energy and planetary systems beyond our own.

The Hubble mission’s phenomenal success is intertwined with its ground-breaking priority of public engagement. As a result, Hubble images are loved around the world, and the Hubble name has become synonymous with the highest scientific capability.
