Where is the Hubble Space Telescope right now?
Follow the Hubble Space Telescope live in 3D as it orbits about 540 km above Earth. Operating since 1990, Hubble completes an orbit roughly every 95 minutes. From locations at lower latitudes it can be spotted as a faint moving point of light. See its real-time position and upcoming passes over your location below.
Frequently asked
Can you see Hubble from Earth?
Yes, but it is much fainter than the ISS. Its orbit is tilted 28.5° to the equator, so it climbs 20° or more above the horizon only from latitudes below about 38°, and it never rises at all beyond about 51° north or south. Use the pass predictions to find a good opportunity.
How high does Hubble orbit?
Around 540 km, in low Earth orbit, somewhat higher than the ISS.
Can I see what Hubble is looking at right now?
Yes, on Space Telescope Live (spacetelescopelive.org), from NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute, which shows what Hubble is observing now. azmth shows where Hubble is and when it next passes over you.
