LIVE FROM THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE header

A unique opportunity for students to explore space and cyberspace

Hubble Space Telescope

LIVE FROM THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE features another educational first: students helped select targets for the Hubble Space Telescope, humanity's most powerful eye on the heavens. Actively mentored by professional astronomers, students debated online and chose to assign one orbit to Pluto and two to Neptune. The observations and results were presented during live broadcasts from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the Space Telescope Science Institute.
