Place Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lay them flat, cut side down. Drizzle with oil, seasonings and fresh thyme, then roast. In my convection oven it takes about 18 minutes.
The Hubble Space Telescope's launch in 1990 sped humanity to one of its greatest advances in the journey to understand the universe. Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth.Its position above the atmosphere, which distorts and blocks the light that reaches our planet, gives it a view of the universe that typically far surpasses that of ground-based telescopes.ASA plans to operate Hubble at least until 2020 in order to allow 1 year of overlap of science operations with the James Webb Space Telescope. Hubble is one of NASA's most successful and long-lasting science missions.
Both images reveal galaxies that are too faint to be seen by ground-based telescopes, or even in Hubble's previous faraway looks, called the Hubble Deep Fields (HDFs), taken in 1995 and 1998. Hubble takes us to within a stone's throw of the big bang itself, says Massimo Stiavelli of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., and the HUDF project lead.
