NASA's Curious Universe

Inside the Team That Keeps Hubble Flying

When it launched in 1990, NASA expected the Hubble Space Telescope to last for about 15 years. Thirty-five years later, Hubble is still showing us the universe as no other telescope can. Go behind the scenes with Morgan Van Arsdall, deputy operations manager for Hubble, on an audio tour of Hubble’s control center. Morgan’s team keeps Hubble operating smoothly, and when something goes wrong, they snap into action to fix it. Plus, hear how Hubble tag-teams with newer observatories—including the James Webb Space Telescope—and continues to push the frontiers of astronomy.

Universo curioso de la NASA

El telescopio de la gente: 35 años de imágenes de Hubble

Desde su órbita alrededor de nuestro planeta, el telescopio espacial Hubble de la NASA ha sido un ojo incansable que mira hacia lo más profundo de nuestro universo desde hace más de tres décadas. Sus hallazgos no solo han revolucionado nuestra comprensión del cosmos; también nos han acercado a él de manera íntima. La astrofísica Rosa Díaz nos acompaña en un recorrido de esta misión emblemática desde el Centro de Control de Operaciones de Hubble.

Podcast cover illustration for “Universo curioso de la NASA.” The colorful image shows a cosmic landscape with various celestial bodies: a bright yellow Sun, Earth in vibrant blue, green, fuchsia and orange colors; a large red and orange planet representing Mars, a black hole with an accretion disk, and the Moon in purple tones. The title 'Universo curioso' appears in the center with a gradient effect in various colors, and 'DE LA NASA' in smaller dark coral letters. The background is black and dark violet, dotted with small yellow stars and waves that create a vibrant space atmosphere.
