Vantor Satellite Captures Ultra-Close Portrait of Hubble on 36th Birthday
A Vantor WorldView Legion satellite photographed the Hubble Space Telescope from about 61.8 km away on April 23, 2026, capturing a rare close-up view that shows Hubble's cylindrical body, thermal shielding, solar arrays, and the open front aperture, as the telescope marks its 36th birthday and continues to inspire in an era of newer observatories like the Roman Space Telescope.
