Hubble Space Telescope: One in a Million!

Did you know that Hubble Space Telescope (HST) made its One Millionth observation yesterday? I learned this today! Considering that for each observation, scientists write proposals asking for Hubble time and resources, some people review those proposals, some analyze the data, report the results, publish papers, ... can you imagine how much work, scientific discovery and exploration Hubble has contributed to? Hubble is One in a Million indeed! The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has high standards to compete with. Here are 200 of those spectacular images:



Here is the one-millionth scientific observation of the HST.
