Hubble's remarkable mission has now spanned 19 years. During that period, it has been at the nexus of perhaps the most exciting period of discovery in the history of astronomy. At the same time, Hubble has offered up some of the most daunting challenges to humans working in space, and success in meeting those challenges has been among NASA's greatest triumphs. Since its launch in 1990, astronauts have visited Hubble five times to fix, restore, and upgrade its equipment. In nearly constant use between these servicing missions, the observatory has generated data for thousands of scientific papers, on topics ranging from nearby planets to distant galaxies, and from nascant solar systems to voracious black holes.
