Space Sparks Episode 19 — Hubble celebrates its 34th anniversary

For more than three decades the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionised modern astronomy, not only for astronomers but also by taking the public on a wondrous journey of exploration and discovery.

Each year Hubble dedicates a small portion of its precious observing time to taking a special anniversary image, showcasing particularly beautiful and meaningful objects.
