Assistant:首先,“哈勃”是望远镜的名字,这个望远镜以爱德温·哈勃的名字命名,他经常被称为“扩张宇宙的发现者”。

You might also know that the Universe is much, much bigger than our Solar System, and is made up of millions or even billions of galaxies.  The human brain can’t really grasp the scale of this at all, so a good analogy is to picture our planet Earth, and then think of it being just one of many planets orbiting our sun, and then the sun is just one of many stars orbiting in a galaxy, and then a galaxy is just one of millions of galaxies, and then the largest of these galaxies is only a “tiny” fraction of the full observable Universe.  :

 望远镜最初由欧洲航天局(ESA)建成,获得美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的资助,现在它是由大约30个国家的科学合作组成的,每个国家都有一个宇航员或科学家为该项目贡献。

 美国政府创建了原始的哈勃望远镜,而非营利性基金会自那时起就接管了望远镜的管理。 它的预算现在完全由私人捐助者和政府捐助支持。 你可能想看看一些使用望远镜的科学研究项目,并找到支持项目的网站,甚至可能直接贡献其中之一!
