Hubble: Our Cosmic Time Machine

The Hubble Space Telescope is many things. It’s an observatory, a satellite, and an icon of cultural and scientific significance - but perhaps most interestingly, Hubble is also a time machine.
Hubble isn’t that far away, locked in a low-Earth orbit just a few hundred miles up that takes about 90 minutes to complete. But with its position just above Earth’s murky atmosphere, Hubble’s transformative view of our universe literally lets us witness our universe’s past. It allows us to effectively travel back in time.
The answer is simply light! Watch this video to learn more about Hubble: Humanity’s cosmic time machine!
