What we’ve learned after 32 years of NASA’s Hubble
On April 24, 1990, NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope into Earth’s orbit. This photo shows the Hubble Space telescope being deployed, on April 25, 1990, one day after its launch. It was taken by the IMAX Cargo Bay Camera (ICBC) mounted aboard the space shuttle Discovery. It has been operational for 32 years, and has not been serviced since 2009. With a 2.4-meter diameter mirror, it gathers as much light in 1 minute as a 160-mm (6.3″) telescope would require 3 hours and 45 minutes to gather.

8 Things I wish I knew at 27, and why it’s not too late to pursue your dreams at 57
First, a note of caution here. There is so much advice, life tips, and even success or “money making secrets” out there. It’s therefore important that you do not listen to too much advice. That is because Most people, including me give advice based on what has happened in their own lives, and this does not mean that the same outcomes would apply in your situations in life and living.

Away from the world
The universe is all of space and time[a] and their contents,[10] including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy. The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological description of the development of the universe. According to this theory, space and time emerged together 13.787.020 billion years ago,[11] and the universe has been expanding ever since. While the spatial size of the entire universe is unknown,[3] the cosmic inflation equation indicates that it must have a minimum diameter of 23 trillion light years,[12] and it is possible to measure the size of the observable universe, which is approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter at the present day.
