NASA's Hubble Seeks Lensed Supernova, Marks 200,000 Orbits - NASA Science
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope completed its 200,000th orbit around Earth on Sept. 19, marking another new milestone for an observatory that continues to transform our understanding of the universe. Hubble has traveled more than 5 billion miles around Earth over its 36-year lifetime, exceeding 1.7 million total observations. An observation completed on the day of […]
The Hubble Space Telescope has been in orbit around Earth for over 36 years. During that time, it has orbited our planet 200,000 times and made over 1.7 million observations. During its anniversary orbit, the Hubble Space Telescope worked to solve the mystery of measuring the expansion rate of the universe.
The International Space Station has made fewer revolutions around the Earth than the Hubble telescope. And the record belongs to probes that have turned into space debris.
According to NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope completed its 200,000th orbit around Earth on September 19, more than 36 years after its launch. Since April 1990, it has traveled more than 8 billion kilometers in orbit and has made more than 1.7 million observations, remaining one of the most important […] The article “200,000 times around the Earth: Hubble continues to peer deep into the Universe.” appeared first on FLIGHT.
