Hubble Space Telescope is currently about 6,896 kilometres from Earth, or 0.000 astronomical units, which puts a one-way radio signal 1 seconds out. It is 1.010 astronomical units from the Sun.
The space telescope that reshaped our understanding of galaxies, nebulae, and the age of the universe, still doing frontier science after more than three decades in orbit.
Operating on reduced gyroscopes but still observing, at about 520 km altitude.
