The Hubble Space Telescope is a robotic telescope located 593 km above Earth's surface. Named after Edwin Hubble, it was launched in 1990 as a joint NASA and ESA project. Hubble weighs 11 tons and can obtain images with a resolution of 0.1 seconds of arc. The document then provides 10 images taken by Hubble showing various nebulae, galaxies, and other astronomical objects located between 2,500-114 million light years from Earth. It concludes by stating the images are monuments of light and color that words cannot describe, and provides an image of the Eagle Nebula, a star cluster forming within gaseous emissions.

- 3. The Hubble Space Telescope is a robotic telescope located on the outer edge of the atmosphere, in circular orbit around the Earth at 593 km above sea level, with an orbital period between 96 and 97 minutes at a speed 28,000 km / h. Named as a tribute to Edwin Hubble, was launched into orbit on 24 April 1990 as a joint project of NASA and ESA, thus inaugurating the Great Observatories program. Cylindrically shaped Hubble weighs 11 tons. Its length is 13.2 m and its maximum diameter is 4.2 meters. The telescope can obtain images with higher optical resolution 0.1 seconds of arc.

- 11. Fifth, here is the Hourglass Nebula located 8000 light years away, a beautiful nebula with a narrowing in its central part.
- 12. In sixth place we see the Cone Nebula, 2.5 light-years
- 13. Seventh, we find a fragment of the Swan Nebula, located at 5500 light years away, described as "a bubbling ocean of hydrogen with small amounts of oxygen, sulfur and other elements"
- 14. Eighth, a beautiful picture called "Starry Night"
- 15. In ninth place, two swirling galaxies, the NGC 2207 and IC 2163 located 114 million light-years.
- 16. Tenth, we see a fragment of the Trifid Nebula, a stellar cradle to 9000 light-years.

- 55. The words are useless when we are confronted with such monuments of light and color. We can meet with the Eagle Nebula or M16 in the constellation Serpens is a window in the middle of the starry night. On the inside, clusters of young stars are in the process of creation, creating a wonderful spectacle of gaseous emissions.
