AZUZ: If you've ever stopped what you're doing, looked up at the sky and thought whoa, I wonder what the Hubble Space Telescope could see on my birthday? Well now you can know. The observatory was launched into orbit in 1990.
It's been maintained and upgraded through numerous spacewalks and all this has come at a cost to the U.S. that approaches $10 billion. But as its whirled around the world at 17,000 miles per hour, it's taken some incredible images of the universe beyond it. And there've been so many pictures throughout the year that NASA says it has one for your birthday. Not the year of course.

That would weed out anyone born before 1990. But if you know the month and date of your birth, even if that's February 29th of a leap year, Hubble has taken a picture of space that NASA will share with you.
