Dr Chris Lintott, University of Oxford and co-presenter on the Sky at Night, will talk about how scientists overcame the teething troubles with the HST and went on to use the Telescope to make some of the most significant discoveries of modern times.
The lecture will take place at the Royal Astronomical Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly W1J 0BQ.
