We are all explorers.
It’s in our DNA.
We explore the depths of our oceans,
our planet’s inner regions,
and its desolate outposts.
We never stop exploring.

Galileo opened our eyes to the heavens with his use of a newly invented instrument, the telescope.
He started an exploration renaissance of the sky,
that would take us to the moon,
and beyond.

For over a quarter century, the Hubble Space Telescope has been
unlocking the mysteries of the universe,
allowing us to explore the edges of space and time.

From nebulas,
to galaxies,
From newborn stars,
To planet formation,
From exoplanets,
to our own planets,
And from dark matter,
to dark energy,
Hubble has allowed us to see the breathtaking details of the universe never before seen.
We salute the thousands of men and women from around the world,
and in space, who have given humanity this incredible
exploration machine.
While we celebrate its past, and dream of its future discoveries.
The Hubble Space Telescope, inspiring the explorer in all of us.
