The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (572 words)
HUT was conceived, designed, and built by astronomers and engineers at JHU to perform astronomical observations in the far-ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, wavelengths of light that are inaccessible to ground-based telescopes.
HUT's primary purpose is to observe wavelengths of light that are too short to be seen with the Hubble Space Telescope, although overlap is provided to allow direct comparison.
HUT has been used to observe hundreds of objects, ranging from nearby stars and planets to the most distant objects known in the Universe, the quasars.
