NASA began planning to launch a large telescope in the 1970s, and the space observatory was in orbit only in 1990. And for 30 years we have known the Universe from the pictures that Hubble transmits to Earth - we know it and are surprised at it. Under this cover is a touching story of the launch, commissioning, repair, improvements and achievements of the legendary telescope, as well as a collection of portraits of the most significant and original space objects, the study of which formed the basis of bold scientific theories and turned our picture of the world upside down.
