The Hubble Space Telescope, perhaps the most important new scientific tool since Galileo invented the telescope, produces images that are astonishingly beautiful and often deeply mysterious. Viewers will be awed by sights formerly witnessed only by astronauts and astronomers. They’ll see stunning, large-scale images of some of the most distant features in the universe such as star “nurseries,” unimaginably distant galaxies, and glowing nebulae located in the deepest part of the cosmos, up to 13 billion light years away from Earth.
