The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) wall chart provides a detailed and visually engaging overview of one of the most important scientific instruments ever built. Designed for astronomy education, this chart explains how the Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit by the Space Shuttle in 1990 and why it has transformed our understanding of the universe.

A central section focuses on the structure of the Hubble Space Telescope, clearly labelling key components such as the primary and secondary mirrors, solar panels, instruments, communications systems, and protective outer shell. Cross-section diagrams show how light enters the telescope, reflects through the optical system, and is converted into scientific data. Additional diagrams explain how Hubble receives and transmits data back to Earth.

The wall chart also covers Hubble servicing and repairs, including how astronauts corrected its early optical flaw using corrective optics. This helps learners understand real-world problem solving in space science.

The lower section showcases stunning images captured by Hubble, including the Orion Nebula, Eagle Nebula, Crab Nebula, Sombrero Galaxy, Cone Nebula, and detailed views of planets. These examples demonstrate how the telescope is used to study star formation, galaxies, and deep space phenomena. This educational poster is ideal for classrooms, science labs, and space-focused learning environments.

Our wallcharts are engineered for durability and educational impact, designed to withstand the rigors of both classroom and home environments.
