Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field / Planetary Cameras 1 and 2 Photograph Collection, 1990-1998.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100858

The collection includes 208 eight by ten-inch color photographic images with assigned JPL Negative numbers (some with captions, others without), 75 color projection slides and 71 four by five inch negatives. They are all images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field/Planetary Camaras-1 and 2 from 1990-1998. Also included are some newsletters and one press kit describing the historical events related to the images. Among the images are those taken by the HST of the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collision with Jupiter in 1994. Of significance is the fact that these HST images were assigned JPL Negative numbers; they in fact are only part of the larger set of HST images maintained elsewhere under another numbering scheme. The materials are arranged by size and then in rough chronological order.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was named after Edwin Powell Hubble, (1884-1953), eminent astronomer of the twentieth century. By his inspired use of the largest telescope of his time, the 100-inch Hooker Telescope reflector at the Mount Wilson Observatory, Pasadena, California, he revolutionized ideas of the size, structure, and basic properties of the universe. Hubble's observations proved that galaxies are "island universes". Hubble also outlined the current classifi...
