Univ.-Prof. Dr. Bodo Ziegler Leiter des Instituts Sonderseminar über Hubble Space Telescope: Advancing the Frontiers of Science for 25+Years The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has now been in orbit for more than a quarter of a century. A series of five servicing missions have kept the observatory operational and state-of-the art despite its extended operational life. In this talk, I will provide a brief history of the development and servicing of HST, highlighting the value of the latter in overcoming Hubble's early troubles with spherical aberration and in transforming HST from a disaster to the most scientifically productive space telescope yet deployed. I will spend the bulk of the talk illustrating the broad range of its scientific results, including a side-journey to look at the work by my GSFC group studying the outer atmospheres and winds of cool, evolved stars, and of its impact on the public and our culture. I will close with a few brief thoughts on future NASA astrophysics and exoplanet missions that will continue our ambitious efforts to "see what's out there." Von Dr. Kenneth G.
