Celebrate Hubble 25, celebrate astronomy!

                            

Hubble telescope our  eyes to the universe

Kaleidascopical vision for the astronomy

Launched as a spacecraft cum telescope

Hubble is no bubble it’s terrible

Starting 1990 all 25 years strolling tall

                             

Long long way off into low earth orbit

long long away from light distorting earth

peering long long long into space with mirth

peering into space as far as 13.4 billion light years with girth
seeing all light visible and infra red and ultra violet filtered by the Earth

An engineering marvel on travel

orbiting earth every 95 minutes

mirrors and parts serviced by astronauts

from the space station on space walks

making it a perfect space eyes,space tracks

It’s discoveries galore, all stories of space

Confirming expanding, accelerating universe

Determining cosmic rate of expansion a class!

Discovering black holes common to centers of all galaxies

Discovering the most distant object yet seen in the skies

Discovering pro disks in the orion nebula

Evidence for presence of exo planets voila!

Discovering fifth moon of icy Pluto la la!

Peering objects so tiny as fire flies

Peering all those on Tokyo from the U.S.

A juggernaut cruising 3 billion miles to date

More than million observations done to boot

Being part of thousands of research papers shoot!

Whirling around 17000 miles per hour, wow great!

Hubble a great salute at 25 years wish you many more clout!
