It was launched in April 1990.
The Hubble Space Telescope it used to take pictures of distant objects in space.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 into space to take pictures the Earth and to relay them back to its ground crew. See the official Hubble Space Telescope website: http://hubblesite.org/ ~ Hexedgirl92
Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.
The Hubble telescope can take extremely detailed pictures using mirrors in space.
16 years
The Hubble Space Telescope was carried as cargo aboard a Space Shuttle mission in April of 1990.
The problem with ground based telescopes is that the atmosphere distorts images, The Hubble space telescope is above the atmosphere and therefore can view with much better clarity.
Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Telescope is a freely moving object sent into space by NASA to take pictures and make observations in space, especially in areas not easily accessible with telescopes. There are more than one Hubble Telescope, such as those in deep space versus ones that are fairly close.
The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, uses a large hyperbolic mirror to take highly detailed astronomical photographs. Hubble's orbit outside Earth's atmosphere allows it to take extremely sharp images without distortion or light pollution.
well it really didnt discover anything it was sent into space to take pictures of planets
