The Hubble Telescope

By Hubble Telescope you can see objects 14 billion years ago. It had to be repaired in space in 1993 and it has produced images of Stars being born and dying. Example: the Eagle Nebula is 7,000 light years away; the Horsehead nebula, 1,500 light years away; the Cat’s Eye Nebula, 3.3 kilo Light Years away etc. Hubble has traveled more than 3 billion miles along a circular low Earth orbit currently about 340 miles in altitude.
