Happy birthday, Hubble! (Telescope now old enough to vote)
Hey, what do you know, Hubble is old enough to vote - or to die for his country in some senseless oil war, if it weren’t for the fact that Hubble is a bit too far away from the polling boots and not all that easy to recruit either.
Being a telescope (and being stationed in space) helps with avoiding most manmade messes, of course:
A series of spectacular images of galaxies crashing into each other has been made public to celebrate the Hubble Space Telescope’s coming of age.
Hubble was launched 18 years ago on April 24, 1990, and to mark the anniversary space scientists have picked out 59 pictures of the cosmic collisions.
Anyway, happy birthday, Hubble - and thanks for all the lovely pics!
