This segment looks at the state of astronomy before Hubble and the difficulties of observing from the ground that drove the need for a space telescope. Astronomers instrumental in the Hubble project in the 60s and 70s reflect on how the design of the telescope was forced to evolve because methods used by ground-based observatories weren’t practical in space.

Given the long, storied history of the Hubble Space Telescope including 25 years of discoveries, we are holding a series of Hubble Hangouts dedicated to exploring its history.  This is the second hangout in that series.

Please join +Tony Darnell, Dr +Carol Christian and +Scott Lewis  as they discuss some of the early discoveries of Hubble with the author of several books on Hubble, +Carolyn Collins Petersen
