Hubble's beautiful images

Wisconsin has played an important and continuing role in the development of the Hubble space telescope. Edwin Hubble began his study of the stars at Yerkes Observatory near Lake Geneva. And UW Astronomers helped to develop the space telescope's cameras and other instruments. For example, the Hubble space telescope was launched 25 years ago with a UW photometer to sample the changing brightness of stars.
In his second video about the Hubble, Glen Loyd focuses on the beauty of the Universe revealed by the Hubble telescope.
