The Hubble Space Telescope "AMAZING"
I live in a small town around 2 hours north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. On clear nights when the sun goes down the stars come out it's still "WOW".
They are still very bright up here being so far away from any large type of city with all there lights that its amazing what you can see in the night sky. You can still see shooting stars, satellite's, planets as well as some amazing displays of the northern lights (Aurora Borealis).
I came across these and was blown away and needed to share the amazing things beyond our haze and light pollution of earth. Spend about an hour here and watch as this amazing piece of technology "The Hubble Space Telescope" takes you to places that only happen in dreams or a few billion light years away from home. Bookmark this lens and share it with your friends so they can have the same amazing experience!
A little bit about the man: Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 - September 28, 1953) was an American astronomer. He was born to an insurance executive in Marshfield, Missouri and moved to Wheaton, Illinois in 1898. Hubble discovered the asteroid 1373 Cincinnati on August 30, 1935.
