The '''Hubble Space Telescope''' (HST) is
It was made by both [[NASA]] and the [[ESA]] working together. It is 600 km in [[Outer space|space]] and was launched on April 24, 1990. Like other things in [[low Earth orbit]] it travels at 5 miles (10 km) per second. If you were going this speed on Earth, you would be able to get from [[New York]] to [[San Francisco]] in 10 minutes. This speed creates difficulty in scheduling observations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://hubblesite.org/the_telescope/team_hubble/|title=HubbleSite - The Telescope - Team Hubble|website=hubblesite.org|access-date=2018-11-01}}</ref>
