Neil deGrasse Tyson celebrates the Hubble Space Telescopes 30th anniversary with comic co-host Chuck Nice and Hubble senior project scientist Jennifer Wiseman, PhD.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll learn how proposals are selected to receive telescope time. Jennifer tells us about \u201cdirector discretionary time\u201d which allows the director of the Space Telescope Science Institute to allot time for ideas and research for larger projects or projects that might not be otherwise considered in the general selection process. Jennifer tells us about an instance when director discretionary time allowed for Hubble to be pointed at \u201cnowhere\u201d \u2013 resulting in the Hubble Deep Field image, one of the most iconic images Hubble has ever taken. Jennifer also explains how long an idea can take from proposal to final publication.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll learn about the Hubble science team\u2019s massive data archive that\u2019s open for everyone. Explore some of Hubble\u2019s most interesting discoveries. Discover more about Hubble\u2019s work on finding supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies. We also explore the work researching the expansion of the universe. <\/p>\n<p>We ponder what the most important fields of discovery will be over the next decade. You\u2019ll find out about Hubble\u2019s collaborative work alongside the Juno probe to Jupiter and the New Horizons probe that went to, and past, Pluto. We also discuss the exciting world of exoplanets. Lastly, Jennifer reveals how long she thinks Hubble can stay in orbit and whether the telescope could ever be sold to a private company. All that, plus, Jennifer shares her favorite Hubble discovery over the past 30 years!<br \/>\nSupport us on Patreon: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/startalkradio<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to StarTalk: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/startalkradio?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>Follow StarTalk:<br \/>\nTwitter: http:\/\/twitter.com\/startalkradio<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StarTalk<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/startalkradio\/<\/p>\n<p>Original air date: April 13, 2020<\/p>\n<p>About StarTalk:<br \/>\nScience meets pop culture on StarTalk!
