On 24 April 2005, the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) will be 15 years ago. No other telescope in space has had a similar impact on astronomy at large, and the ESA TV Service will release between now and 24 April, a series of three special programmes on the achievemts and perspective of HST.
These special programmes bring together a large amount of-often not yet released- 3-D graphics of HST results and the phenomena it ha sbeen observing.
Today’s transmission focuses on achievements in cosmology, notably the determination of the age of the Univserse and the measurement of the Hubble constant, and new insight into the birth rate of stars in the early universe.
The Programme is made of an A-roll (split audio, English) of five minutes plus a B-roll with clean international sound.
