Hubble Space Telescope

Scientific paper

The study of faint galaxies has inspired cosmologists since Edwin Hubble's pioneering observations in the 1920s. Appropriately, the successfully refurbished Space Telescope named after Hubble now holds the key to unravelling many of the outstanding questions in modern extragalactic astronomy, including how galaxies form and evolve in the expanding cosmos. The combination of Hubble Space Telescope's exquisite imaging and spectroscopy from ground-based telescopes is being used to resolve a major puzzle concerning a population of low mass galaxies which was particularly abundant a few billion years ago but which has mysteriously vanished by the present epoch. The solution to the puzzle may shed new light on the physical processes which produce the rich variety of galaxy types we see today.
