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.
