Edwin Hubble Hubble was born in Marshfield, Missouri. He earned a law degree and worked as a lawyer for one year. Hubble gave up law, deciding that “he’d rather be a bad astronomer than a good lawyer”. He went on to become one of the outstanding astronomers in history.

© 2006 Plano ISD, Plano, TX/Klein ISD 2007 The Hubble Space Telescope was named in his honor. It was launched in 1990 and orbits about 375 miles above the surface of the earth. The HST was designed so that astronauts from the space shuttle can make any needed repairs. A faulty mirror was replaced in Dr. Hubble made some of the most important discoveries in modern astronomy.

© 2006 Plano ISD, Plano, TX/Klein ISD 2007 Hubble Telescope Trivia Did you know that: Hubble travels at a speed of 5 miles per second, or 18,000 miles/hour. Hubble completes an orbit every 97 minutes. Traveling at Hubble’s speed, a trip from L.A. to N.Y.C. would take 10 minutes.

© 2006 Plano ISD, Plano, TX/Klein ISD 2007 In an average orbit, Hubble uses about the same amount of energy as watt light bulbs. Hubble transmits enough data every day to fill 10,000 standard computer disks. Hubble can’t observe the sun or Mercury, which is too close to the sun.
