An observatory above the atmosphere

Hubble Space Telescope (B)

Hubble observes from Earth orbit. Operating above most of the atmosphere avoids much atmospheric blurring and enables ultraviolet observations that are difficult from the ground. The supplied historical CAD configuration contains offset service/instrument pieces; it is not an operable or fully assembled current observatory.
