A Trip Down Memory Lane: 36 Years of the Hubble Space Telescope   

Launched in April 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope began with flawed optics. Scientists and engineers quickly developed a fix, and in December 1993, astronauts restored Hubble’s vision to near perfection. Since then, Hubble has captured millions of stunning observations and produced vast amounts of high-quality data. This series will trace 36 years of “Hubble Science,” highlighting its groundbreaking discoveries and its impact on both the astronomical community and people worldwide. Join Dr. Sarajedini as he presents the science with clarity and accessibility, so everyone can appreciate how Hubble has transformed our understanding of the universe.

LECTURES:

1. The Hubble science related to the Solar System and extra-solar planets.

2. Discoveries in the area of stars and galaxies.

3. Galaxies and cosmology.

4. Summary of previous lectures and a glimpse into the future of the Hubble Space Telescope. I will cover all of the relevant background information so the talk will be accessible to everyone.

Live In-Person with Video Catch-up. Available 2-3 business days after the live lecture.
