Editorial
Hubble Space Telescope -" the orbiting space wonder" - has been a unique source of marvel and inspiration for a significant part of humanity; it has opened a magic window to the universe. More than a fantastic scientific instrument Hubble is the "living" proof of what we humans can achieve if we work united and in peace. Fifteen years ago, on april 24th, 1990 at 8:33:51 PM EDT, 12:33:51 PM GMT, Space Shuttle Mission STS-31 was launched to deploy the Hubble Space Telescope. Happy birthday Hubble!
