Photography: Photographing the Universe with Hubble
Total Running Time: 00:31:31
For the past 25 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has looked out into space, peered at the past, and sent back stunning images that help us understand the mysteries of the universe. Hubble has made more than one million observations, which scientists have used to observe the most distant stars and see the deepest views of our universe. It has witnessed the birth and death of stars and observed myriad stellar explosions; its images have revealed locations more than 13.4 billion light-years from Earth; and it has shown us supermassive black holes and the ominous luminousness of supernovas. We are thrilled to host Hubble Imaging expert Zolt Levay from the Space Telescope Institute for a discussion about the science and art of translating Hubble's data into colorful photographs of the cosmic landscape.
