-Primary Sources

Garner, Rob. “About - Hubble History Timeline.” NASA, NASA, 4 Sept. 2018, www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/hubble-history-timeline.

An official NASA article that features an interactive timeline of the Hubble Space Telescope. While it had every event, it did not have every detail. However, it helped me understand when the events happened and how long the development of the Hubble Space Telescope took.

Garner, Rob. “About the Hubble Space Telescope.” NASA, NASA, 27 Jan. 2015, www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/story/index.html.

An official NASA article that only has the details of the Hubble Space Telescope itself. It does not have the full story and therefore was not entirely usable. However, it did help me understand the actual size of the telescope.

Garner, Rob. “Discoveries.” NASA, NASA, 27 Jan. 2017, www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/2017/highlights-of-hubble-s-exploration-of-the-universe.

An official NASA article that talks about the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope. While it helped me understand how beneficial the Hubble Space Telescope has been, it also helped me with the Impact page. Additionally, I used it as a destresser due to how beautiful the images of space are.

Garner, Rob. “Hubble Space Telescope – Fine Guidance Sensors.” NASA, NASA, 27 Jan. 2017, www.nasa.gov/content/hubble-space-telescope-fine-guidance-sensors.

An official NASA article that talks about the Fine Guidance Sensors. This source is as good as it is specific. However, I predicted that if I went into detail on every part, I would use too many words in one section and thus would not be able to use those precious words in other equally important sections.

Garner, Rob. “Observatory - Optics.” NASA, NASA, 19 Dec. 2017, www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/hubble-space-telescope-optics-system.

An official NASA article that talks about the details of every scientific instrument used in the Hubble Space Telescope. I used this source on the Development and Launch page. Additionally, it helped me understand how the Hubble Space Telescope worked.

Hille, Karl. “About - The Hubble Story.” NASA, NASA, 20 Sept. 2018, www.nasa.gov/content/about-the-hubble-story.

An official NASA article edited by Karl Hille that talks about the entire history of the Hubble Space Telescope. It gave me all the information I needed to write a barebones description of everything, but I decided to use other sources to add more detail to the overall website. Due to the high quality of this source, I would count it as my primary primary source.

“Hubble Space Telescope launches April 24 1990” WJZ, NASA, 24 April 2020.

A video originally recorded by NASA, but broadcasted on the WJZ network. Technically the video was recorded on April 24th, 1990, but the youtube video used was published very recently. Honestly, this video is quite astonishing. It made me feel the exact same way other people back then must have felt.

-Secondary Sources

DeVorkin, David H., and Robert W. Smith. The Hubble Cosmos: 25 Years of New Vistas in Space. National Geographic, 2015.

A book that talked about the history of the Hubble Space Telescope. Overall, it is about as useful as my primary primary source. So I assume this would be the primary secondary source.

Lupsha, Jonny. “On 30th Anniversary, Hubble Space Telescope Delivers Breathtaking Images.” The Great Courses Daily, The Great Courses Daily, 9 May 2020, www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/on-30th-anniversary-hubble- space-telescope-delivers-breathtaking-images/.

An article talking about the wonderful images the Hubble Space Telescope has taken. While I did not use every image from this source, I did use it to understand the beauty of space. Additionally, I have to add that I may have spent a couple of hours just staring at images of space.

Mann, Adam. “What Was the Space Race?” Space.com, Space, 7 Aug. 2019, www.space.com/space-race.html.

An article that talks about the events of the Space Race. This source helped me the most on the History page and also led me to understand the Space Race better. Additionally, this source has more information than the other Space Race article.

“Orbiting Astronomical Observatory.” Edited by Erik Gregersen, Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., www.britannica.com/ technology/Orbiting-Astronomical-Observatory.

An informative section of an educational website that talks about the four Orbiting Astronomical Observatories. It helped me better understand the advancements that happened before the Hubble Space Telescope. 

“Space Race Timeline.” Royal Museums Greenwich, Royal Museums Greenwich, 6 Apr. 2020, www.rmg.co.uk/discover/explore/space- race-timeline.

An article featuring a timeline of the Space Race. This source helped me with dates and events but did not cover the full story of anything. I had to search for another source to fill the gap. 

Unsplash. “Space Wallpapers: Free HD Download [500+ HQ].” Unsplash, unsplash.com/wallpapers/nature/space.

A gallery of free HD space backgrounds. The background you see on every page comes from here. I put this in the bibliography because it was a crucial part of the entire website. Overall, pretty nice.

Wall, Mike. “RIP, Laika: Pioneering Space Dog Launched 60 Years Ago Today.” Space.com, Space, 3 Nov. 2017, www.space.com/38660-laika- space-dog-launch-60th-anniversary.html.

An article that talks about Laika the Space Dog. It helped me understand the reasoning behind the Sputnik 2. Unfortunately, reading this article made me very sad because of how the dog was planned to die in orbit. However, they planned it to suffocate instead of the fiery demise it suffered from.
