Description
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 to give us a clearer view of our solar system and the universe beyond. The Hubble is so powerful it can pick up a flashlight beam 250,000 miles (400,000 km) away - the distance from Earth to Pluto! In Satellites and Space Probes, simple text and amazing photos help illustrate: - how they work, how they are launched, and what they do - their increasingly important role in communications and weather prediction - how they teach us about our solar system
