It's not a hubble telescope, it is the Hubble telescope. There's only one with that name. It is named after Edwin Hubble who discovered that the universe is expanding. It is a space telescope. That is, it is in space, because you get a better view of the stars from space. Although the main mirror is only about 6 feet across, because there is no atmosphere to distort the view, it gives the best pictures ever seen of distant objects.

Hubble Telescope is orbiting the Earth above the atmosphere, and has provided lots and lots of astronomical data in the years it has been working. It has photographed many objects in space; some of the photographs are among the best I have ever seen.
You can find more data on the Hubble site itself:
