It's World Space Week. See how Hubble, the orbiting space telescope, has changed our view of the Cosmos. It all started with Galileo who, improving an original design, uses his version of the telescope to view the sky and planets. Mankind's view, looking up, has never been the same since.

On the 7th of January, 1610, Galileo turned his telescope to the sky and discovered that Jupiter had three moons.

When Galileo began to experiment with his new telescope, by pointing it to the sky, he made the world's first astronomical observations.

Celebrating 2000 Martian days of exploring the Red Planet, Curiosity is a moving science lab, considerably different from "Spirit" and "Opportunity" before her - both of which are Mars Exploratory Rovers (MERs). "Curiosity" is a traveling Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) designed to give scientists important information about the "Red Planet.

As he was driving in the town of Kamensk-Uralsky, located north of Chelyabinsk (zoom-in on this Google map to compare the relative locations), Alex Ivanov approached a red light.
