Hubble isn’t just famous for its photos, it’s a science powerhouse packed with mind-blowing stats. It orbits Earth every 95 minutes, weighs as much as two elephants, and can even look billions of years into the past!
In this video, we break down some of the wildest numbers behind the telescope that changed how we see the universe. From astronaut upgrades to 1.6 million observations, Hubble’s done a lot in 30+ years.
