Such programs have been slow in getting started. In at least one important region, though, there has been encouraging progress.

Named for Edwin Hubble, the great astronomer who discovered in the 1920s that the universe is expanding, the space telescope has a mirror 2.4 meters (7.9 ft.) in diameter that will focus light on an array of cameras and instruments. After recording and analyzing the radiation, the instruments will translate it into electronic impulses and beam it down to earth at a prodigious rate -- fast enough to fill a 30-volume encyclopedia in 42 minutes. Moreover, the Hubble will literally view the stars in a new light: the space observatory can see ultraviolet radiation that fails to reach ground telescopes...
