This year's Explore@NASAGoddard celebrates the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity's exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.

Additionally, all areas of Goddard's research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – will be presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.
