NASA’s Incredible Discovery Machine: The Story of the Hubble Space Telescope by Michelle Thaller

Hubble's launch and deployment in April 1990 marked the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo's telescope. Thanks to five servicing missions and more than 30 years of operation, our view of the universe and our place within it has never been the same.

This documentary celebrates not only the scientific and technological achievements of this telescope, but also the human spirit that’s helped to keep it up and operational for all these years. Along with its views on YouTube, this documentary has gone on to receive over 400,000 combined views across the Hubble Space Telescope’s other social media platforms.
