In April of 2015‚ the Hubble Space Telescope celebrated the 25th anniversary of its launch from the Kennedy Space Center in 1990. Despite its success‚ Hubble has seen its share of setbacks throughout its history. Astronomer Lyman Spitzer Jr. first conceived the idea of a telescope in space in 1947‚ but it took another thirty years before it came true (Overbye). After twelve years of building‚ Hubble was ready‚ and was set to launch in 1983. However‚ technical delays forced the launch to be pushed

Hubble Space Telescope The telescope would become the indispensable instrument for investigations of the cosmos. Bigger and better telescopes were built all over the world. Planets‚ stars‚ and nebulae which could not be seen by the naked eye were now being routinely noted and logged. Such is the case with the fantastic discoveries for which the Hubble Space Telescope has been responsible during the twentieth century. Had it not been for the creation of such a monumental piece of scientific machinery

2015 Telescopes in Astronomy Telescopes have proven to be one of the greatest inventions in the science of astronomy. This instrument‚ which makes far-away objects more visible has facilitated both learning about and understanding our universe. This paper will discuss the importance of telescopes‚ their three major designs‚ and the strengths and weaknesses of different locations for telescopes. In addition‚ this paper will discuss the frequencies of light and the role they play in telescopes. Without

Introduction The Hubble Space telescope has been Orbiting the Earth for over two decades‚ Hubble has helped to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time – and uncovered mysteries we never knew existed. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars‚ Hubble has changed the face of astronomy‚ ushering in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe. Although named to honor astronomer Edwin Hubble‚ the telescope was championed by astronomer

Topic: Newton’s Reflecting Telescope Patrick Doan & Kevin Le & Kevin Tumang 30/4/08 Principle Aim: To construct a recreation of the Galilean refracting telescope and a Newtonian reflecting telescope Aim: To recreate Newton’s experiment in building a reflecting telescope‚ aiming to further the field of optics. We hope to use the theory studied in this experiment and produce a working Newtonian telescope (that Newton designed). He wanted to create a telescope that was not affected by chromatic

Introduction Most college schools here in the Philippines have an online grade viewing/inquiry system‚ especially in metro manila. The trend of using this kind of system is growing fast‚ and reaching even schools in provinces. What is an online grade viewing system you ask? This type of system is a computerized system that you could only access through www (World Wide Web) via internet. WWW is the fastest growing part of internet. Note that‚ contrary to what many people believe‚ the web and the internet

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 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
