Happy 33rd Birthday to the Hubble Space Telescope! Hubble was deployed on this date in 1990. NASA.gov has an awesome collection of Hubble's images throughout the years, try to check them out sometime! Pictured here is Messier 11 is also known as the Wild Duck Cluster, as its brightest stars form a “V” shape that somewhat resembles a flock of ducks in flight. #wherethestarshangout
