Fifteen years ago today, the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed:
Since that day in 1990, the bus-sized telescope has taken more than 700,000 photos of planets, stars and other celestial bodies. The images have helped astronomers see deeper into space than ever before -- a feat that has allowed them to prove the existence of super-massive black holes and even calculate the age of the universe, among other things.
