The Hubble space space telescope has been the most efficient and effective project to look at the universe.
When you see a point of light that traveling at 300 M per second and the light that you see is coming from hundreds of light-years it is just beautiful.
I think your figure for the speed of light is a wee bit slow, it's not 300 M per second, that's about the speed of sound, (343 meters per second). The speed of light is more like 299,792,458 meters per second, just a slight difference of about 6 orders of magnitude.....

I stand corrected, as most Americans we are more used to saying 386,000 miles per second,but we need to join the rest the rest of the metric world, particulary in science.
