Want to know where is Hubble right now? There’s a tweet for that..

If you want to know where is Hubble now there is a Twitter account that lets you see the magic in action.

The account, @Space Telescope Live, tweets where the Hubble Space telescope is looking… right now.

I am looking at the planet NEPTUNE for Dr. Mark R. Showalter using Wide Field Camera 3! https://t.co/hOGWtCKwG7

Each tweet lists which scientist (or group of scientists) is using the Hubble with which specific instrument, and where the telescope is pointing and why, whether for observing or just calibrating. Some of the tweets even come with images, though the pictures aren’t actually Hubble images. Each tweet contains a link through to more information about the specific research.

The feed is run by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)’s outreach site, HubbleSite.org. STSci is the operations center for the telescope’s science program.
