Why was the Hubble launched?

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the universe, free from Earth's atmospheric distortion. Its primary objectives included observing distant galaxies, stars, and planets, and improving our understanding of cosmic phenomena. Hubble has contributed significantly to various fields of astronomy, including the determination of the universe's age and the discovery of exoplanets. Its advanced imaging capabilities have revolutionized our view of the cosmos.
