NASA Hubble Is The Reason We Have Digital Cameras

Did you know that digital cameras were originally developed for NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope? In this video, Dr. Phil Plait, The Bad Astronomer, challenges the notion that studying space can’t have an impact on our daily lives. He discusses how exploring and understanding the wonders of space, including viewing Saturn through a telescope, being wowed by a beautiful photograph from a space telescope, or considering an image of a galaxy from when the universe was only a few hundred million years old, can benefit us as humans by making us more aware of everything around us.
