Hubble telescope is 559 Km above from the surface of earth. It is orbiting around the the planet completing one revolution in 97 minutes. Telescopes on the surface of earth have limited visibility due to the atmosphere, hence solution to this problem was to send the telescope outside the atmosphere. Here are some images of the thing that provided us incredible images of other worlds throughout the universe.
Amazing wonder of science is running at 8 km per second, such a high pace and still its able to focus to distant object. Images provided by hubble can be seen at following links:
