The world's largest space telescope: U.S. Hubble telescope. Hubble Space Telescope (Hubble Space Telescope, abbreviated as HST), based astronomer Edwin Hubble (Edwin Powell Hubble) name, in orbit around the Earth telescopes. Its location on the Earth's atmosphere, so do not get the benefits of ground-based telescopes - images are not perturbed by atmospheric turbulence, depending on the phase and no great degree of atmospheric scattering caused by background light, but also absorbed by the ozone layer observations UV. After launch in 1990, has become the most important instrument in the history of astronomy. It has filled the gap surface observations help astronomers solve many fundamental problems of astrophysics have more understanding. Hubble Ultra Deep Field Hubble astronomers have gained the most in-depth (most sensitive) optical image。
