This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope! https://brnpop.co/3pPHyex

Since its launch in 1990, images from the telescope have helped scientists determine the age of the universe, discover supermassive black holes hiding in the middle of galaxies, and learn about how stars and planets are formed!

In honor of Hubble’s birthday, Nat interviews Morgan Van Arsdall, a Hubble engineer at NASA. They talk about how NASA has kept Hubble delivering images for three decades—effectively allowing scientists to travel billions of years back in time! Then, Nat speaks with astrophysicist Dr. Quyen Hart, who explains why the images Hubble takes are so important. Travel with her to Mystic Mountain in the Carina Nebula, where Hubble has captured images of the kind of process that formed our sun.

Watch now for tips on teaching your students about this engineering wonder—and see if you can beat two space telescope experts in guessing the English words that rhyme with "Hubble."
