We are inspired by the incredible science and breathtaking images Hubble has produced and the amazing friends we have made in the astronomical community!

Filmed and recorded on Johns Hopkins campus and at Space Telescope Science Institute by Physics and Astronomy Graduate Student Outreach. Hubble is important to each and every one of us!

A big thanks to students and staff at JHU and STScI! And this could not have been done without the equipment help and support from the JHU Digital Media Center!
If you’re still reading here’s a few of the acronyms we sing in the video:
HST — Hubble Space Telescope
ACS — Advanced Camera for Surveys
WFC3 — Wide Field Camera 3
COS — Cosmic Origins Spectrograph
NICMOS — Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer
STIS — Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph
UV — Ultraviolet
Oh and if you caught it d=Hv is a generic equation, where for example d can be velocity and v can be distance. It’s definitely not a mistake.
