It was 25 years ago today, Friday, that the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, and NASA is commemorating the anniversary with a review of some of the incredible images it has captured. The New York Times has a stunning gallery, with NASA scientists commenting on their favorite images. “It is always humbling to think about the birth of other stars and how they mirror our own,” says Pam Jeffries, graphic designer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, which operates Hubble. “The time, distance and forces involved always put your stress and self-importance in perspective.”
