Happy 35th birthday to the Hubble Space Telescope! It was launched on April 24th, 1990, and fully deployed on the 25th. The mirror was made wrong, but 5 subsequent missions fixed and then later upgraded components.

I remember this launch, and the repairs ... and the beautiful images it provided once repaired ... happy birthday, indeed!
What a majestic object! It has revealed to us the immensity of our ignorance! How small and irrelevant we are in the immensity of the universe, and yet some of us reject the simple fact that the Earth is a "round" planet.
