MEXICO: NASA celebrates 25 years of discovery and beautiful imagery with the Hubble Space Telescope this month. Although Hubble was launched from space shuttle Discovery in 1990 the telescope did not produce any images until 1995, because the large mirrors were put on incorrectly. A series of space-walks were conducted by astronauts to fix the mirrors and get Hubble back in business.
Since 1995, when the first image from Hubble was transmitted to Earth, the telescope has inspired generations of space enthusiasts with the stellar images of supernovas, nebulae, galaxies and planets.
Hubble has made more than 1 million observations since its mission began. The school-bus sized telescope can see more than 13.4 billion light years from Earth, making it one of the most productive scientific instruments in history.
