HubbleSite - Space Telescope Science Institute

Home of the Hubble Space Telescope, a NASA Origins mission that seeks answers to fundamental questions about the universe and our place in it. Nearly 400 years after Galileo first observed the heavens through a telescope, we continue to seek answers to age-old questions about the universe. And while the technology has evolved over the centuries, the inquiry remains essentially the same: Whats out there, where did it come from, and what does it mean? At the Space Telescope Science Institute, were working hard to study and explain the once-unimaginable celestial phenomena now made visible using Hubbles cutting-edge technology. In the course of this exploration we will continue to share with you the grace and beauty of the universe because the discoveries belong to all of us. Probe deeper! Explore the site to learn more about who we are and what we do. HubbleSite is produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). STScI is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), for NASA, under contract with the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
