"The people who manage the Hubble telescope have done a wonderful job of almost branding, of identifying Hubble with frontiers of knowledge and discovery in a way that has been very effective, and so it's become an icon."

John Logsdon, Director of the Space Policy Institute

April 24, 1990

“The Hubble Space Telescope is not just the most complex and expensive unmanned space probe ever launched; it is also a work of art. It says more about us, and better, than we can know.”

Timothy Ferris, science writer, producer

[astronomical images] were teaching me the most valuable concept of science: the awe and drive to seek understanding of it all.Nature photographer Leonardo Ramos

“The pictures the Hubble has given us rank in importance with Apollo’s canonical Earthrise over the moon. And the telescope has done it all at a reasonable price.”

NYT editorial

Beyond the uniformity of the naked-eye universe, there is this other universe, the one Hubble discovers with astonishing clarity. This is a place full of discordant objects, of cataclysmic disturbances.

Hubble pictures balance the objective and subjective elements of imagery to capture the essence of celestial objects.

“Hubble’s images and results have entered the popular conversation, the popular culture, in a way that I can’t remember any other instrument doing. That’s just really amazing to me, the degree to which this rich and artistic understanding of our universe has permeated pop culture."

Astronaut Kathy Sullivan

"The Hubble telescope represents one of the greatest scientific and technological accomplishments of the human species—illustrating the power of human reason and cooperation, along with boundless creativity and curiosity."

Barry Vacker, Writer and mixed-media artist

“Four centuries after Galileo, Hubble has exponentially ramped up our non-centrality by showing we are the center of absolutely nothing, a tiny species in a majestic and indifferent universe.

All 21st-century philosophy exists in the wake of the Hubble telescope.”

Barry Vacker, Writer and mixed-media artist
