On May 24, 2024, the Hubble entered into safe mode. The breakdowns in some of its components have been increasing in recent times, and the mechanisms that have suffered the most aging have been the gyroscopes, instruments that the telescope uses to properly position in space and point to its objectives with maximum accuracy. Thus, the space telescope has surely been amortized.
On April 24, 2025, the day of 35 years of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, we review the most iconic images it has captured. The Hubble has been a kind of time machine that has observed places of the universe so far unattainable in space and time. Luz that was emitted millions of years ago and show us things as they were in the youth of our universe. His task will be inherited by James Webb, 100 times more powerful than Hubble. But the old man – in human years – telescope will always be the first.
