25 Years of the Hubble Space Telescope

Screen Shot 2015-05-04 at 17.10.58Since its launch on 24 April 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has taken over a million observations. These images can now be found on everything from phone cases to cinema screens. To celebrate its 25th anniversary BBC Sky at Night put together this special edition full of images from the telescope – and I helped provide some of the captions (specifically for the chapter on Galaxies).

Not much of an editorial job, but hey – I was paid for it, and I’m pleased to have helped in a small way with such a beautiful publication.
