To celebrate the society's 60 years of helping beginners, for a limited period while this banner displays we are pleased to be able to offer new members joining the SPA a free copy of this great 60-minute DVD produced by the ESA/Hubble team. It is being sold elsewhere for ยฃ14.99.

It explores the many facets of the telescope โ€“ the historical development, the scientific importance, the technological breakthroughs, and also the people behind this ground-breaking invention, their triumphs and failures. It is presented by Dr. J, aka Dr. Joe Liske, a professional astronomer from the European Southern Observatory and host of the Hubblecast video podcast.

Video chapters are:
