The Hubble Space Telescope The largest telescope yet placed in orbit, HST is a joint project of NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). HST has helped discover new moons of Pluto, probed the formation of stars, and found evidence that the universe is now expanding at a faster rate than several billion years ago. This photograph was taken from the space shuttle Discovery during a 1997 mission to service HST.
