The Hubble Space Telescope has captured countless great and wonderful objects during its first 20 years of operation.
Here's a few you can see from Earth -- even without a telescope. The outstanding capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope , which launched April 24, 1990 on the space shuttle Discovery , have enabled us to see these objects more clearly than any ground-based instrument. And in the first two cases, we were afforded close-up views of what could only be termed as very unusual, if not rare events. Here's a look at Hubble targets amateur astronomers can hunt for too: In its very first year of operation, the Hubble captured an exceedingly rare event: A major storm on Saturn, dubbed, the Great White Spot. It turned out to be a fantastic system of swirling clouds and eddies. The image was taken on Nov. 9, 1990 and depicts what may arguably have been the greatest atmospheric feature in the solar system. Nobody had dreamed that they would see anything as spectacular as what a...The cost of NASA's replacement for the Hubble Space Telescope is giving new meaning to the word astronomical, growing another $1.5 billion, according to a new intern...
