Hubble - 15 years of discovery

Published 2015-04-15
Hubble's spectacular visual images make a stunning backdrop throughout the film, bringing an immediacy and vitality as the narrative reveals the new insights Hubble has inspired in all fields of astronomy from exoplanets to black holes. Complex though the science behind the telescope’s images often is, Art Director Martin Kornmesser has developed a unique style of elaborate 3D animation that enhances and vividly clarifies the underlying science.
The movie is presented by an ESA scientist, Dr. Robert (Bob) Fosbury, who has himself used Hubble for his own research on many occasions.

And what better way to do justice to the extraordinary scientific achievement of the Hubble project and its vast array of stunning images than by presenting it in 480p.
-
i don't care how outdated this is, the imagery is just mesmerizing.
-
I don't know what is the most enjoyable, the documentary itself or the fact that it contains absolutely no adds.
-
I'm one of those who still keep the original DVD with posters and all, with great affection. I was 13-14 years old and I became even more obsessed with space than I was back then. Today I dedicate my life to studying to be an astrophysicist. Those were good times.
-
I come here often, to sleep to wake to eat to sit and enjoy! Seems this "15 Year Anniversary" was filmed 25 years after Hubble was launched. Still a gorgeous show. Thanks ESA!
-
It's been 30 yrs now and still going strong.
-
"The James webb Space telescope is being designed right now and may be launched as early as 2011" has to be one of the funniest senteces i've ever heard
-
I was almost afraid to look at the first images after the repair. As anticipated, they took my breath away, made my mind short circuit and made me understand how fortunate we are to live in this era. We are definitely a tiny spec.
-
This is an awesome documentary. Humanity is to aspire even higher in this coming time. Thanks for posting this wonderful documentary.
-
My dad gave me this DVD as a birthday gift in 2005, when I was eight years old. I'll never forget that day. I was obsessed with space and astronomy back then, and as I'm still interested in it to this day, this really takes me back. BTW, the music in the end credits is what has established my music taste, basically. Not that I did not like this kind of music prior, but it's interesting to see how little my love for it has changed over the years.
-
I like this one. They are providing the information garnered from the science and not listing a bunch of dates and names. Science is a joint human adventure.
-
9:54 "The Hubble Telescope has a successor, the James Webb Telescope, which may be launched as early as 2011." Me watching in 2021: Yeah, mmm hmm 🙄
-
Hadn't thought about it we needed the Space Shuttle to be invented and built in order to get the Hubble above our astmospere and maintained. As an amatuer Astronomer looking through a 12+ mirrored scope stuck here on Earth, Hubble just blows my mind. Amazing what humans can do when they combine their positive energies.
-
I’m already on a journey through space and time but thanks guy in the beginning.
-
A wonderful presentation of an incredible saga. Too much to grasp in ones,one lifetime. Hooray for the Stars, moons, & planets, we are gathered here at their bequest.
-
Eu tenho esse DVD até hoje, original, com posters e tudo. Comprei uma revista da Scientific American em 2006 e veio esse DVD junto. Sensacional esse documentário.
-
listening for the second time, it will probably take a third watch to fully comprehend all the info. how little we know compare to whats out there. mind boggling and awe inspiring.
-
Thanks for expanding my universe. Through Hubble lenses and your explanation, I am better off than all the astronomy I learned in school
-
I wish they'd bring it back for a museum exhibit. Seems like such a waste to let it burn up like that, personally, would looove to see that telescope up close.
-
Hubble needs to be in a museum and not burnt up by coming back into the atmosphere and then resting peacefully at the bottom of the ocean, it really deserves better
