NASA scientist answers how Hubble is still revolutionizing modern astronomy

Jennifer Wiseman, senior project scientist of Hubble answered questions on NASA's Hubble telescope that has been into Earth's orbit for more than 30 years w. 'question & answer' session video was posted on official YouTube channel of ncy where scientist explained how Hubble is still revolutionizing modern astromy for researchers.

" Hubble Telescope has been operating for 30 years, but it is still very powerful. I think we humans have a curiosity about how we fit into natural world and how our planet fits into this much larger universe. We have a lot more to learn and one of things that Hubble has told us through its observations is that our universe is really active and dynamic. galaxies, stars, planets are t just sitting re stagnant. We actually have learned through Hubble observations that stars are still forming in se interstellar clouds," Wiseman said in video.

"We have learned that our own solar system is incredibly dynamic. One of earliest observations from Hubble showed a comet crashing into Jupiter. We've discovered actually, that moons around planets in our own solar system are interesting places in ir own right. Hubble found evidence for water vapour plumes being ejected from surface of moon Europa around Jupiter. So Hubble continues to be at forefront of astromical exploration," Wiseman explained.

NASA's Hubble Telescope is first major optical telescope to be placed in . Hubble telescope is placed above distortion of atmosphere, far above rain clouds and light pollution, and has an ubstructed view of universe. Scientists have used Hubble to observe most distant stars and galaxies as well as planets in our solar system. Hubble has been in service since its deployment in April 1990 and it is considered most significant vance in astromy since Galileo's telescope.
