 | The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a telescope orbiting the Earth at the outer edges of the atmosphere. |
| During the 1970s when Hubble was designed, the conventional wisdom was that ground based telescopes would never have the resolution of space telescopes because the atmospheric seeing limited the resolution of ground telescopes. |
| Federal lawmakers noted that NASA's next generation space telescope, named the James Webb Telescope is not scheduled for launch until 2010, many years after the Hubble Space Telescope was originally expected to cease functions. |
