No, there's a great number of highly specialized telescopes in orbit.
The most famous ones apart from Hubble are the Spitzer Space Telescope (for infrared) and the Chandra (for X-rays).

What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
Is there a difference between the Hubble space telescope and the Hubble telescope?
a major difference the huble space telescope is in orbit while the regular is in use only on the ground
What year was a hubble space telescope sent into space?
There is only one single Hubble Space Telescope. It was placed into Earth orbit in April of 1990, and is expected to remain useful and productive until sometime between 2014 and 2020.
What makes the Hubble telescope from the other telescope?
the hubble telescope is a refracting telescope and it is the biggest one because the refracting telescope can only have a certain range of size for the glass lens because it can only hang on the telescope and it is aproximently 5 meters big the lens. hope it helped
Why was the hibble telescope invented?
You are probably referring to the Hubble space telescope. The basic idea is that a telescope in space has a clearer view, because it doesn't have atmospheric interference. Thus, the hubble telescope, while only being 2.4 meter in diameter, can get clearer pictures than a 5-meter telescope on Earth, for example. Also, it can capture some wavelengths that don't get to the Earth's surface, because they are almost completely absorbed by the atmosphere.
Do hubble telescopes only uses visible light?
There are a number of instruments aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The primary telescope does collect light in the visible spectrum.
What 2 factors keep artificial satellites such as the Hubble space Telescope in orbit around the earth?
It only takes one, which is fortunate because there only IS one.It's gravity.
How far does the hubble telescope travel?
He doesnt travel.. The Hubble telescope is stationairy and only in space to bypass the atmosphere. The Hubble telescope maginfies so much, that if you are beneath the atmosphere, you get a blurry image. Like looking through a dirty window. So they shot it in space. Beyond the "dirty window".
What are the only 2 objects in space that humans have visited?
Spacelab, Space Station, Hubble Telescope, and other man-made orbiting objects. Add the Moon if it meets the definition of an object. Answer may also depend on the definition of "visited".
What is the largest natural satellite orbiting the earth?
The only natural satellite orbiting Earth is the moon.
What have we found out by using the hubble telescope?
We have found out loads of stuff. From dark energys to.... That's the only thing I know.... For useful info check out Hubble website!
What does it mean that the moon is earth's only satellite?
The moon is earth's only natural satellite, meaning it is the only natural orbject that has a fixed orbit around earth. We now have thousands and thousands of man-made satellites orbiting earth an a few orbiting the sun.a satellite revolves around a planet. The moon revolves around the earth.There are 2 types of satellite:Artificial satellites like the Hubble telescope and any orbiting spacecraftNaturally formed satellites like the moons orbiting several of the planets in our solar systemSome argue that the earth-moon system is really a binary planet system. One reason the argument is appealing is that of all the moons in the solar system, ours is the largest in proportion to its host planet (not in absolute size). On the other hand, the earth-moon barycenter, the center of gravity of the earth and moon taken together, is within the body of earth. This fact and many dissimilarities between the earth and moon suggest that the moon really is a satillite, and a moon of the earth rather than a companion planet.
