THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE Telescopes have only been around for about 400 years. Since then‚ they have evolved quickly and helped astronomers make remarkable discoveries. Ground based telescopes were the first‚ but we needed a way to observe the cosmos in the vacuum of space‚ without the light pollution and atmosphere of earth. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was the tool that helped propel astronomy to the next level. It has helped us understand the universe in new ways‚ but Hubble

extraordinary scientist‚ who helped create a space telescope that contributed to multiple discoveries and grew our understanding of the universe. The Hubble Space Telescope was and is an absolutely critical aspect to astronomy because it helped make many amazing discoveries in science. This space telescope explored places and objects‚ we never knew existed and it explained the answers to questions we never thought we’d have the answers too. The hubble space telescope is extremely important because it advanced

The aperture of a telescope is several times larger than the aperture of human eye so that the objects that cannot be normally seen by unaided eye can be seen. Light- gathering power of a telescope is proportional to the area of its aperture and hence depends on the square of the radius of the mirror. Therefore a 20 cm diameter telescope collects four times more photons than a 10 cm diameter telescope. Pg1 Labelled Picture Pg2 The Principle of Sight Optical telescopes are divided into

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation. A aperture telescope in low Earth orbit‚ Hubble’s four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet‚ visible‚ and near infrared. The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble. Hubble’s orbit outside the distortion of Earth’s atmosphere allows it to take extremely high-resolution images with almost no background light. Hubble’s Deep Field has recorded some

The Hubble Telescope has made about a million observations in the infinite universe. This telescope has helped mankind learn about the mysteries of the universe. Almost all the beautiful and unique galaxies we see today‚ are because of The Hubble Telescope. The technology aboard Hubble is one-of-a-kind and one of our most advanced piece of work. The telescope is named after Edwin Hubble‚ an astronomer who made great discoveries in his time. The Hubble Telescope is truly a masterpiece and has helped

ALMA: World`s Largest Telescope Gerald John C. Guillermo Hubble Space Telescope may be awesome but these new radio telescopes in Atacama Desert‚ Chile may be more awesome. Built in the driest place in the Earth‚ the Atacama Large Millimeter Array or ALMA provides the most distinct and the most precise images of local stars and planet formation and can also distinguish the birth of neighboring stars and some of the most distant‚ ancient galaxies. ALMA was initially a 50-50 partnership between the United

Nearby The main purpose of a telescope is to collect light. Telescopes are designed and built to gather specific kinds of information at different wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum‚ such as visible‚ infrared or millimeter wavelengths (Takunaga). The word “telescope” consists of the Greek roots “tele-“ meaning “far” and “-skopos” meaning “seeing”. The telescope is an optical instrument for making distant objects appear larger and nearer. Refracting telescopes consist of an objective lens

earth. The Hubble telescope‚ named after the great scientist who confirmed the big bang theory‚ was the solution to this and it has been in space for the more than 20 years it was supposed to live. Over the time‚ the telescope has sent home so much information that mankind has realized how little they knew about the universe. This paper covers the needs for the Hubble telescope in space‚ the impacts that it has had in physics and science and what eventually happens to the telescope when its time expires

History of Telescopes We have all heard about telescopes and how useful they are in our present time. We also generally associate telescopes to astronomy like the Hubble Space Telescope. There is a rich history behind its invention and its further progression which we will now discuss. The first type of telescope invented was an optical telescope. This telescope has three designs‚ namely‚ refracting telescopes‚ reflecting telescopes and catadioptric telescopes (refracting and reflecting combined)
