DescriptionMetal Earth produces a large number of licensed and classic metal model kits. Each kit comes with a few flat sheets of metal pieces that can be pressed out and assembled by following the simple instructions, resulting in a wonderful little steel model.This faithful model of the Hubble Telescope is one of the simpler Metal Earth models (fewer pieces that come in a single sheet), but it still can be tricky to assemble due to the size of the individual pieces. The resulting model is a lovely little piece of space history.The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 and deployed into orbit by the space shuttle Discovery. By deploying the telescope in orbit, it is able to avoid atmospheric interference that an Earth-based telescope may encounter when observing light from distant celestial bodies. Since it’s deployed it has continuously sent data back to researchers to allow them to study the history and evolution of the universe.The Metal Earth Hubble Telescope model is a great gift for anyone with an interest in modern history, space or science.
