From the imagestransmitted back to Earth from Hubble, we learned more about how our planetwas formed. We discovered amazing new bodies in space such as protoplanetarydisks (beginning planets), gamma-ray bursts, and many other fascinating objectsand processes occurring in the universe. Since the Hubble, several moretelescopes have been put into orbit around the Earth.Question:  What is the main idea?
