哈勃十七年探索之旅 Hubble 17 Years of Discovery

哈勃太空望遠鏡，至今也是世界上最重要的科學儀器，上一次講座時哈勃是十六年，現在已是第十七年，第十八年也快到了，哈勃的發現仍是那麼多那麼重要。這次是我在香港太空館主講的「宇宙探索新世代」講座系列的第二講，因為是一個講座系列，所以一些哈勃的重要發現夾雜了在另外幾個講座中討論，以下是是次講座的簡介。

哈勃太空望遠鏡是史上最精良的科學儀器和最成功的科學計劃，十七年間，哈勃帶領天文學進入一個新紀元。哈勃所拍攝的高解像度影像，和對宇宙深處的透視能力，完完全全地改寫了人類對宇宙的認知：從目擊彗星撞木星、捕捉恆星一生中的每一幕，到探視宇宙間的星系大碰撞、窺視星系中心的太空怪獸－超級黑洞、揭開能量僅次於宇宙誕生大爆炸的伽瑪射線暴謎團等等…

Hubble Space Telescope is the most important scientific instrument in the world nowadays. Since my last lecture, Hubble was 16 years old, now Hubble is nearly 18 years, its discoveries is ever so important. This lecture is the second of the lecture of the "New Era of Cosmic Exploration" I presented in the Hong Kong Space Museum. Since it is presented in a lecture series, some of the important discoveries of Hubble were appeared in the other lectures instead. Below please find the outline of this lecture.

Hubble Space Telescope is the most advanced and successful scientific project. In 17 years, Hubble drove astronomy into a new era. Hubble's high resolution and the penetrating power of deep space rewrites our understanding of the universe, such as witnessed the collision of comet into Jupiter, monitored the lives of stars, captured the galaxy collisions, glimpsed the space monsters - supermassive black holes, and revealed the mystery of the biggest explosion since Big Bang - the Gamma Ray Burst events etc...

哈勃太空望遠鏡為史上最成功的科學計劃，十六年間，哈勃帶領天文學進入一個新紀元，高解像度的影像、對宇宙深處的透視能力，完完全全地改變了人類對宇宙的認識。是次講座選取了部份的重要發現和哈勃十六年間的故事作為介紹。

Hubble Space Telescope is the most successful scientific mission in history. In the past 16 years, Hubble brings astronomy into a new era, its high resolution power and the deep penetration power into the deep cosmos, revolutionary changed our understanding of the universe. This lecture highlighted some of the major discoveries of Hubble and its story behind its great success in the past 16 years.
