Description:
On April 25, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed! <br/><br/>Hubble is famous for taking some of the most amazing deep-space photos ever. It hitched a ride to space on the space shuttle Discovery with mission STS-31. Also on board were astronauts Charles Bolden, Loren Shriver, Bruce McCandless, Steven Hawley and Kathryn Sullivan. The crew used a Canadian-built robotic arm to deploy Hubble from the shuttle's cargo bay while they were orbiting 332 nautical miles above the Earth. No one knew it at the time, but Hubble wouldn't be taking any pretty pictures anytime soon. When Hubble took its first photos almost a month after it was deployed, the pictures were out of focus because of a flaw in its mirror. Thankfully, the problem was fixable, and astronauts successfully repaired it in 1993.

Adam Gunderson, 27, was on a snorkeling boat heading to Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii on February 18 when he captured the once-in-a-lifetime moment on video. Having initially spotted a whale calf, Adam stopped the boat to observe the mammal, hopping onto the roof of his vessel to shoot some footage. Then, in an unexpected twist, two adult humpbacks dramatically breached from the water at the same time, leaving passengers on the excursion wowed in amazement at the spectacular sight. But the show wasn't finished there, as a few seconds after the adults had breached, the whale calf did its best to replicate their leaps, too.")
