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.
Hubble's second huge advantage is its ability to observe near-infrared and ultraviolet light, which is otherwise filtered away by the atmosphere before it can reach ground-based telescopes. Find out more about the spacecraft Hubble and see images of it in flight. Hubble has made many contributions to science since its launch in 1990. With 10 000 scientific papers attributed to it, Hubble is by some measures the most productive scientific instrument ever built. This section outlines the background to some of the key areas of research Hubble has contributed to.
