New Views of Space

Hubble Space Telescope is back, and better than ever! Astronauts from the space shuttle completed an important mission to repair the space telescope last May. Now, Hubble's pictures are nearly perfect. NASA, the U.S. space agency, released amazing new photos from the "eye in the sky" this month.

Hubble soars through space, 350 miles above Earth. The space-based observatory has a crystal-clear view of the universe. Hubble has sent pictures of deep space back to Earth since 1990. Some of these images are close-ups of the planets and of stars being born.

Hubble's New Start
The floating telescope has had many problems during its 19 years in space. Last May, astronauts spent 13 days rebuilding it.
Hubble's new parts are more sensitive to light. They make the telescope's pictures brighter and clearer than ever before. "This is truly Hubble's new beginning," says NASA's Edward Weiler.
Exciting New Views

On September 9, NASA released a new batch of photos taken by Hubble. The new views show galaxies, planets and nebulas.

One photo shows gassy areas that look like butterfly wings. The glow is hot gas and dust. Hubble could not capture such an amazing level of detail before its recent round of repairs.

NASA has big plans for Hubble now that it is back in business. Over the next few years, the space telescope will take pictures of our solar system and more distant worlds. Scientists hope that Hubble will create a picture-perfect portrait of our universe.
