history

1958

NASA created

After the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union in 1957, Congress passed the Space Act in July 1958. The Space Act created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), effective on October 1, 1958, from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and other government agencies.
1990

Hubble launched

Space shuttle Discovery (on mission STS-31) launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying five astronauts and the Hubble Space Telescope.
1992

Chemistry of early universe probed

Astronomers announced that they had detected the rare element boron in an ancient star. This was the first time that astronomers using Hubble had detected elements from the early universe, and this discovery suggested that the element might have been evidence of energetic events that occurred with the birth of our Milky Way galaxy.
1993

First servicing mission conducted

Hubble’s first servicing mission, designated STS-61, occurred on December 2 to 13, 1993, aboard space shuttle Endeavor with seven astronauts on board. The primary mission of Servicing Mission 1 (SM1) was to install two new instruments on Hubble. The first was the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, a new camera that provided internal corrections for the spherical aberration in Hubble’s primary mirror. The second instrument was the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR), which corrected the spherical aberration for the other existing instruments. Following the success of SM1, observations from the Hubble Space Telescope were no longer “blurry.”
1995

Oxygen found on Europa

Astronomers announced that they had used Hubble to identify the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere of Jupiter’s moon Europa. This was the first time astronomers identified oxygen in the atmosphere of a satellite and only the third object beyond Earth to possess the gaseous element.
1999

Sharpest view of Ring Nebula released

Hubble released this image of the Ring Nebula, which was discovered by French astronomer Charles Messier over 200 years ago and cataloged as Messier 57 (M57). This planetary nebula (so named because of its resemblance to a round planet in small telescopes) is a cylinder of gas seen almost end-on, produced by a dying star shedding its outer layers.
2000

Universe’s missing hydrogen found

Astronomers announced that they had used Hubble to discover “missing” hydrogen that was created during the big bang but seemed to have disappeared afterward. By studying the light of quasars passing through intervening clouds of gas on its way to Earth, they found that invisible filaments of hydrogen weave their way between galaxies throughout the universe.
2003

Light echo recorded

Astronomers released Hubble images of a “light echo” around a star called V838 Monocerotis, which in January 2002 had suddenly swelled in brightness, giving off 600,000 times more light than our Sun does. Hubble’s images showed light from this outburst illuminating clouds of dust around the star as the light traveled outward.
2018

Possible exomoon found

Astronomers announced that the Kepler and Hubble space telescopes had gathered evidence of a possible moon orbiting a planet outside our solar system. Potentially as large as Neptune, the suspected “exomoon” accompanies a planet several times more massive than Jupiter called Kepler-1625b, which orbits a Sun-like star 8,000 light-years from Earth.
