Happy Birthday to the Hubble Telescope! The telescope is 25 years old. A telescope is an object you can use for looking at something far away, for example: the Moon, or a mountain. The Hubble Telescope isn’t a normal telescope: is enormous, and it’s in space! It travels around the Earth taking pictures. It sends the pictures to scientists on Earth! The Hubble Telescope is very powerful. It can see things that are close to us, or it can look to the end of the universe! Scientists have used the telescope to find new planets, stars and galaxies. They have also used it to get information about our own solar system. The Hubble Telescope was launched on the 24th of April 1990. Remember, this is before most people in the world even had a mobile phone! Amazing technology! This year, the Hubble Telescope is 25 years old. Happy Birthday Hubble Telescope!
