Yes, and better than ever. Google "Hubble Ultra Deep Field" for some of the most amazing pictures you will ever see. Thousands upon thousands of galaxies.
Because we still use telescopes today, and it helped us build a more & new advanced telescope today

The Hubble Space Telscope
The Hubble Space Telescope was put into the orbit in 1990 and is still there up until today. It already had to be repaired five times and is expected to stay in the orbit until at least 2013.
Today, and it has a heavy day of observations scheduled for tomorrow.
As of today (13 Feb '14), the Hubble Space Telescope has been in space forthe past 8,696 days. It'll polish off a cool 24 yearson April 24, 2014 .
That launch happened on April 24, 1990.
Many people and organizations were involved in designing and building the initial parts of the Hubble Space Telescope. Lockheed (Lockheed Martin today) was the prime contractors for building the telescope, but there were many other contractors involved. The various instruments were designed by different combinations of universities, contractors, NASA, and ESA (European Space Agency).
It's difficult to mention any specific location, since the Hubble is circling the whole Earth every 96 to 97 minutes.
No
From an original estimate of about $400 million, by the time of launch it had cost $2.2 billion and by today has probably cost twice that amount.
they use space probes,satellites,and of coarse,telescopes.
