2 WHEN AND WHY IT WAS CREATED It was launched in April 24 1990 and built in the 70’s and 80’s. The purpose of the telescope is and was to see enhanced views and images of deep space where earth telescopes were blocked by the atmosphere the Hubble Telescope would not be.

3 PROBLEMS AND DEVELOPMENTS Some problems with the Hubble Space Telescope was a mirror that wasn’t fully polished and set to the right amounts. And every now and then they had to replace broken equipment. Developments include the installation of new equipment and new resolution with the addition of the mirrors added to fix the old one. With these new advancements we have been able to see even farther than before.

4 DISCOVERIES ATTRIBUTED TO THE HUBBLE The Hubble discovered a tiny speck of sky that revealed a zoo of about 3,000 galaxies with some being as old as 10 billion years. The Hubble also discovered that galaxies tend to have massive black holes in the middle of them.
