The observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the past year include a survey of the sky in the search of the unknown and unexpected, which yielded images of some odd-looking galaxies that may be the building blocks of the spirals and ellipticals observed locally; details of the Jupiter's polar aurora; and images of planetary nebulae N2 and N5. The paper focuses on the difficulties that exist in the use of the HST for both the 'general observers' (GOs, observers from the astronomical community at large) and the 'guaranteed time observers' (i.e., observers who earned a certain amount of telescope time by helping to create the observatory) and describes the GO program from its beginning, at the submission of a proposal to the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), to its conclusion, when their HST data are analyzed with the assistance of the STScI staff.
