Google Doodles for Hubble Telescope on its 20th anniversary
New doodle for Google. The most famous search engine has a space to honor, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the telescope Hubble.
The d
ay will mark the twenty years for most fascinating Hubble telescope, the Hubble telescope flew into space aboard the shuttle Discovery, to be placed in orbit about 600 km altitude above the earth. Since that time, Hubble orbits the Earth; it makes a full circle every 100 minutes and sends a multitude of images to researchers of NASA and the European Space Agency.
Hubble was named in the tribute to famous astronomer Edwin Hubble. During the period of 20 years, the telescope assisted in observing about 30,000 celestial objects and their file contains more than one million photographs.
In 2015, Hubble should be replaced by the James Webb Telescope, an infrared space telescope even better.
