Hubble’s Universe
Solar System Surprises

2
00:00:03.876 --> 00:00:10.912
In 2020, the Hubble Space Telescope
celebrates 30 years in space.

3
00:00:10.912 --> 00:00:15.282
That’s 30 years of
breathtaking images…

4
00:00:15.282 --> 00:00:19.687
...and 30 years of
revolutionary discoveries.

5
00:00:19.687 --> 00:00:24.758
Using Hubble’s ultraviolet
detectors...

6
00:00:24.758 --> 00:00:29.194
...scientists found oxygen-rich
minerals on the lunar surface.

7
00:00:29.194 --> 00:00:36.232
Hubble has analyzed hundreds
of comets and asteroids.

8
00:00:36.232 --> 00:00:43.536
These are fascinating
and dynamic worlds…

9
00:00:43.536 --> 00:00:48.305
...colliding, merging, and
disintegrating before our eyes.

10
00:00:48.305 --> 00:00:50.875
Hubble has even studied
interstellar objects...

11
00:00:50.875 --> 00:00:58.478
...the first known visitors
from beyond our solar system.

12
00:00:58.478 --> 00:01:01.449
In 1994, Hubble witnessed
a cosmic collision…

13
00:01:01.449 --> 00:01:05.886
...as a comet broke up and
crashed into Jupiter.

14
00:01:05.886 --> 00:01:12.588
Hubble has seen Jupiter’s
Great Red Spot shrink…

15
00:01:12.588 --> 00:01:16.293
...and geysers erupt
on the moon Europa…

16
00:01:16.293 --> 00:01:21.297
Hubble discovered four
new moons around Pluto…

17
00:01:21.297 --> 00:01:28.668
...and observed them tumble and spin
inside a chaotic gravitational field.

18
00:01:28.668 --> 00:01:30.306
In 30 years, Hubble has reshaped
our view of the solar system…

19
00:01:30.306 --> 00:01:35.377
...and the exploration is
far from over.
