The Hubble Space Telescope is an iconic spacecraft responsible for almost a quarter of a century of astronomical discoveries and stunning stellar images.

As such, it is due time for it to be immortalised as a Lego model.

At least that is the idea of Gabriel Russo, a Lego fan and admirer of the orbiting observatory, who designed a Lego brick version of the space telescope and uploaded it to the Danish toy company's social website, "LEGO Ideas."

And judging by the number of supporters Russo's Hubble has recruited to date, just over 6,300 at press time, he is far from the only person who thinks it is a good idea.

"A Lego model of this amazing piece of space engineering would come as a perfect homage to its 25th anniversary in 2015," Russo wrote as a part of his model's description on the website.

LEGO have also recently celebrated the anniversary of the Moon Landing in LEGO.

The build in the picture took around 2-3 weeks for building techniques.

The "Moon" was just a grey blanket made similar to the Luna ground.

This set will include the Brick-Built version of the "Eagle" also known as the "Luna Lander", Neil Armstrong with his unique printed face and a removable helmet and a clip on chrome gold visor, Buzz Aldrin also with his unique printed face and a removable helmet and a clip on chrome gold visor and last but not final...Michael Collins, Again with his unique printed face and a removable helmet and a clip on chrome gold visor.

LEGO Ideas, which was previously known as CUUSOO, invites Lego fans to share their proposals for new brick-built models.

Other fans and the public can then cast their votes on the website for their favourite ideas.

The concepts that successfully attract 10,000 supporters are considered by the toy company for commercial distribution.
