Happy Birthday Hubble! Today, the Hubble Space Telescope turns 27. Orbiting 340 miles above Earth’s surface, this vantage point allows it to observe astronomical objects and phenomena. Today’s college undergraduates have not known a time in their lives when astronomers were not actively making discoveries with Hubble data.

To celebrate NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope's 16th birthday, the Hubble Space Telescope team decided to put together a special present for their fellow "observing buddy." Hubble and Spitzer have observed many of the same astronomical objects over the years; and with Spitzer getting data from infrared, and Hubble getting data from visible, ultraviolet, and some near-infrared, the two telescopes have helped uncover some of the mysteries of the universe.
