Telescopes

The Hubble Space Telescope was deployed from the Space shuttle Discovery during STS-31 on April 25, 1990. Since then, there have been 5 servicing missions that continued to upgrade the telescope's scientific instruments and operational systems. Hubble reached a major milestone, its 20th anniversary in orbit, on April 24, 2010.

Our Earth is just one of 11 different planets including the Sun and Pluto. They are all in a alignment and hopefully will stay that way.

There is no sign of life on other planets but scientist believe that if certain small things happen to the other terrestrial planets then there could become life on these planet mars and others.
