Reframe the content of this text as a story about the Hubble Space Telescope's journey from an idea to a space-based observatory.

Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has provided a dazzling array of images that have awed and inspired the public. 

But Hubble's about far more than just pretty pictures. The mission has gathered dozens of terabytes of data over the decades, providing key insights into the universe, from objects as close as the moon to the most remote galaxies, with observations of supernovas and nebulas in between. 

Here we explore the history of the telescope and its many discoveries, provide interesting Hubble facts and link to some of the orbiting observatory's best images. 

When Galileo Galilei first turned a spyglass to the heavens in 1610, he had trouble making out the rings of Saturn that are visible in inexpensive telescopes today. Advances in optics eventually improved scientists' views of the planets, stars and distant galaxies, but Earth's atmosphere still blocked or distorted much of the light for observers on the ground. Larger telescopes were, and still are, placed atop mountains, where the thinner atmosphere at higher elevations allows clearer pictures.

In 1946, soon after World War II, astronomer Lyman Spitzer proposed launching a space telescope, which could overcome the limitations of ground-based observatories. It took a couple more decades before the idea garnered enough support for the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to organize a committee of scientists to evaluate the potential of a "Large Space Telescope." With Spitzer at the helm, the committee published a document in 1969 that outlined the scientific uses of a Large Space Telescope and advocated for its construction, according to a Hubble history written by Gabriel Olkoski for NASA. 

The National Academy of Sciences took the pitch to NASA — the only agency capable of making the Large Space Telescope a reality. NASA was already considering a space telescope of some type, but the agency was undecided about how big to make it and where to start. In 1971, George Low, the agency's acting administrator at the time, greenlit the Large Space Telescope Science Steering Group, and NASA soon began lobbying Congress for funding for the endeavor. 

The expensive project was a tough sell, and funding was initially denied by the House Appropriations Subcommittee in 1975. NASA then upped its lobbying efforts and got buy-in from European Space Agency, which shared the costs. Congress eventually granted funding for NASA's portion of the Large Space Telescope in 1977.  

Development began almost immediately. NASA planned to launch the telescope in 1983, but various production delays pushed the launch date back to 1986. 

In the meantime, the Large Space Telescope was renamed Hubble in honor of Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer who, among other things, determined that the universe extended beyond the borders of the Milky Way. 

Hubble's planned liftoff was delayed again after the space shuttle Challenger exploded a minute after takeoff on Jan. 28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts on board. It was more than 2.5 years before shuttle flights resumed and NASA could begin planning Hubble's launch again.  

Hubble finally launched aboard the space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990 and a day later was deployed into low Earth orbit, about 340 miles (545 kilometers) above our planet. Getting Hubble developed and launched cost $1.5 billion, but there would be ongoing costs as well — both expected and unexpected.

is paath kii saamagree ko habal spes telescope kii yatra ke bare main ek vichaar se ek antariksh-aadhaarit vedhashala ke liye ek kahani ke rup main refream karen.

1990 main iske launch ke baad se, habal spes telescope (HST) ne un chhaviyon kii ek chamakdaar sarani pradaan kii he jinhone janata ko jaagrit or prerit kiya he.

lekin habal ke bare main sirf sundar chitron kii tulana main kahin adhik he.mishan ne dashakon se darjanon terabitis data ko ikattha kiya he, jo brahmad main mahatvapurn antardrushti pradaan karata he, vastuon se chandramaa ke rup main sabase duurastha akashgangaon ke rup main, bich main supernova or nebula kii tippaniyon ke saath.

yahaan ham doorabeen or isaki kai khojon ke itihaas kaa pataa lagaate hai, dilachasp habal tathy pradaan karte hai or kuch parikrama obserwetary kii sarvshereshth chhaviyon se judate hai.

jab galileo galilei ne pehali baar 1610 main ek spaiglass ko akaash main badal diya, to unhen shani ke challe banane main pareshaani hui jo aaj sasti doorabeenon main dikhaai de rahe hai.optics main agrimon ne antat grahon, sitaron or dur kii akashgangaon ke vaigyanikon ke vichaaron main sudhaar kiya, lekin prithvi ke vaataavaran ne abhi bhi jameen par paryvekshakon ke liye prakaash ko avaruddh yaa vikrut kar diya.bade doorabeen the, or abhi bhi, pahaado ke upar rakhe gaye hai, jahaan ucch oonchai par patale vaataavaran ko spasht chitron kii anumati detaa he.

1946 main, dwitiya vishwa yuddh ke turant baad, khagolvid liman spitger ne ek antariksh doorabeen shuru karne kaa prastaav diya, jo jamini-aadhaarit vedhashalaon kii simaaon ko paar kar saktaa he.is vichaar se kuch or dashakon pehle hue the ki "bade antariksh doorabeen" kii kshamta kaa moolyankan karne ke liye vaigyanikon kii ek samiti ko vyavasthit karne ke liye america neshnal academy of sciensej ke liye paryaapt samarthan praapt hua.helm main spitger ke saath, samiti ne 1969 main ek dastavej prakashit kiya, jisamen nasa ke liye gabrial olkoski dwaara likhit ek habal itihaas ke anusaar, ek bade antariksh doorabeen ke vaigyanik upyogon ko rekhaankit kiya gaya or iske nirmaan kii vakaalat kii gai.

is bich, bade antariksh doorabeen kaa naam badalakar habal ne edwin habal ke sammaan main ek america khagolashastri kar diya, jinhone anya chizon ke alaava, yah nirdhaarit kiya ki brahmad milky ve kii simaaon se pare vistaarit he.

28 janvari, 1986 ko techof ke ek minute baad spes shatal chalanger dwaara visphot hone ke baad habal ke niojit liftof ko phir se deree hui, jisase sabhi saat antariksh yatriyon kii maut ho gai.shatal kii udaanon ke phir se shuru hone se pehle 2.5 saal se adhik samay tha or nasa phir se habal ke launch kii yojana bananaa shuru kar saktaa tha.
