Particularly, in the past decade, NASA's orbiting spacecraft as well as ground-based astronomy have brought to man's attention heavenly bodies, sources of energy, stellar and galactic phenomena, about the nature of which the world's scientists can only surmise. Esoteric as these new discoveries may be, astronomers look to the anticipated Space Telescope to provide improved understanding of these phenomena as well as of the new secrets of the cosmos which they expect it to unveil. This instrument, which can observe objects up to 30 to 100 times fainter than those accessible to the most powerful Earth-based telescopes using similar techniques, will extend the use of various astronomical methods to much greater distances.
