launch of the Hubble Space Telescope aboard shuttle Discovery in 1990 occurs today. During the past 19 years Hubble has made more than 880,000 observations and snapped over 570,000 images of 29,000 celestial objects. Link to the Hubble Heritage Gallery.
One feels quite small and unimportant when viewing the various imaged objects, especially when factoring in their size, distance and immense age.
