Hubble’s Highlights from its 36th Year in Orbit | Goddard Space Flight Center
The Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 36th year in orbit by premiering a stunning new Hubble image of the Trifid Nebula. Even after all these years, Hubble continues to uncover the mysteries of the universe. These are a few science achievements from Hubble’s latest year in orbit.
The Hubble Space Telescope has taken over 1.7 million observations to date. Almost 29,000 astronomers have published peer-reviewed science papers using Hubble data collected over the telescope’s 36-year lifetime, resulting in more than 23,000 publications, with almost 1100 in 2025 alone. Since 2022, researchers have regularly combined Hubble’s observations with those from the James Webb Space Telescope to push opportunities for discovery further.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA.
