Cliff's Cosmos - Move on to Cliff's Cosmos 2

When the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was launched 1990, even HST's team of astronomers couldn't imagine the spectacular views and discoveries that HST would give us, including the birth of stars billions of years ago. A space shuttle mission in February, 2009 will upgrade HST to be 90 times more powerful, giving us views of more distant galaxies than ever. In 2013, HST will be replaced by the James Webb Space Telescope, with a mirror size of 21 feet compared to HST's 2.5 feet!
   
What is a Light Year? - Distances to stars/galaxies are measured to in light years, or how far light travels in a year at 186,000 miles per second. For a perspective of distances, click here.
