Imax: Hubble

documentary

Great capsule history of the neatest telescope yet devised. Short (45 minutes) skim over the instrument's ups and downs but the film features some stunning footage shot by astronauts...as well as the usual launch stuff.

It took ten years and 10,000 people to build this thing...someone here called it the most magnificent machine ever created. Perhaps the pinnacle of western civilization...the tech baton we now hand off to whoever comes next.
