From Galileo’s telescope to Hubble

About 400 years ago, Galileo made one of the first telescopes. With his telescope, he could look at the
planets, the moon and the Sun more closely. He discovered a lot of interesting things. For example,
he saw that there are mountains on the moon and he discovered Jupiter’s satellites. He also saw the
rings around Saturn.
Today, there are more powerful telescopes than when Galileo was alive. One of the biggest and
most important telescopes is Hubble. This telescope is in space and it’s very shiny. It travels around
Earth very quickly. It’s about 13 metres long. Hubble takes photos of stars and planets and sends
them back to scientists on Earth. It started taking photos in 1990. Today, thousands of scientists and
astronomers use the Hubble telescope to study space.
