Hubble Telescope – The Most Famous Camera of All Time?
	For years, some of the greatest photos have been brought to us not from a person, but by a machine, the Hubble Space Telescope to be exact. Since 1990, NASA has been monitoring the galaxy with their state-of-the-art telescope. Since then, Hubble has been producing some of the most awe-inspiring images known to man. The telescope, which is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, is able to produce the most detailed visible-light image of our universe ever. Because of this, the telescope is able to see objects out in to the distant galaxy. The Hubble Telescope lets us see things that we never thought we would witness. The birth of stars, distant galaxies, close up images of planets, distant supernova and many more important discoveries about the universe were brought upon by the usage of the Hubble Telescope. One of the best parts about the Hubble Telescope is that it has gotten better with age. Thanks to various missions, astronauts have been able to upgrade Hubble Telescope’s abilities to help it seeing even further and clearer in to the galaxy. With the fourth, and last, servicing mission in 2009, Hubble Telescope received a Wide Field Camera 3 which increases its observational capabilities in the ultraviolet and visible spectral ranges by up to 35 times because of its higher sensitivity and wider field of view. The Hubble Telescope also received a Cosmic Origins Spectrograph which observes ultraviolet parts of the spectrum and is about the size of a telephone booth. With other maintenance that was performed by the space crew, Hubble Telescope is now expected to continue full functioning into 2014 and perhaps for even longer. While there are plans for a successor for the Hubble Telescope, you can rely on it to keep on shooting amazing photos of the universe for years to come. Without the Hubble Telescope, there are so many things we would not have known about our galaxy and many others out there. It’s amazing to view images that the Hubble Telescope has produced. Seeing how vast space is and how much is out there is truly astounding. Seeing the unknown is incredible. We are viewing places that we are never going to reach in our lifetime, it’s simply incredible stuff. If you know anyone who is a fan of the solar system, astronomy, space or even awe-inspiring photographs, then a photo care of the Hubble Telescope would be an excellent gift. A photo of Tarantula Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, distant galaxies or the infamous Pillars of Creation photo of stars forming in the Eagle Nebula would look great in anyone’s household or office. If you are going to purchase a photo that the Hubble Telescope has taken, make sure you have it professionally framed. Choose the best mat board and frame for the situation so that your image continues to amaze for years to come. Who knows what Hubble Telescope will photograph next, all I know is that America will be waiting to see what it has for us for years to come.
