The exhibition immerses
visitors in the magnificence and mystery of the Hubble mission.
A scale model of the HST is the focal point of the installation.
"Satellite" units incorporate hands-on activities about
how the telescope works, and a "Space/Time" section
features Hubble's contributions to the exploration of planets,
stars, galaxies, and the universe.

ABOUT
STScI
This companion Web site for the Hubble Space Telescope: New
Views of the Universe exhibition was developed by the Office
of Public Outreach at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)
in Baltimore, Maryland. We at STScI are working hard to study
and explain the once-unimaginable celestial phenomena now made
visible using Hubble's cutting-edge technology. In the course
of this exploration we will continue to share with you the grace
and beauty of the universe... because the discoveries belong to
all of us.
