Yes. It's visible during the first couple of hours after sunset, and the first couple of hours before sunrise,
IF you know exactly when and where to look.
If you see it, it looks like a star moving quite slowly.
Take a look on < Heavens-Above.com > .
You put in your location, and the site tells you where and when several objects will be visible from your location.

∙ 14y agoSOMEBODY can see it EVERY day, but everyone can't see it all the time. The Hubble Space Telescope is in a low Earth orbit, about 150 miles up; it makes one orbit about every 90 minutes or so.
Go to http://www.spaceweather.com/flybys/ and select your ZIP code (in the USA) or select your country and city elsewhere, and the program will give you a list of all of the scheduled overflights for the next week. You can select the Hubble, the ISS, the Shuttle (if up) and several other satellites, or choose all of these.

∙ 12y agoNo. The nearest black hole (that we know about) is quite a distance away - and couldn't be seen even if it were right here. No light can escape from a black hole; the only way we can know about it is through its gravity.
One of the gravitational effects is that the extremely high gravity causes mass to fall in to the black hole at ever-increasing speeds. Since the mass was going somewhere else when it got caught up in the gravitational field, the mass spirals in toward the center, colliding with all the OTHER mass that is also spiraling in. This can cause x-rays; fairly strong ones. In fact, detecting the fairly distinctive signature of gas spiraling into an unseen point is how we generally discover black holes, such as the Cygnus X-1 black hole that was the first one ever identified.

∙ 8y agoYes, if you are lucky. They are often moving quickly, making them harder to see with a telescope, so binoculars are a better option.

∙ 12y agowe live on earth, you can see it if you just look down at the ground without a tekescope. you can see STARS at night with a telescope.

Why should telescopes such as Hubble produce more detailed images than Earth based telescopes?
Earth based telescopes have to see through the atmosphere and all the dust it contains. space telescopes like Hubble have nothing but clearspace to see through.
How has the Hubble space telescope helped NASA?
Most large earth bound telescopes cannot see clear images of objects in deep space. Our. atmosphere distorts the pictures with shimmery air. The HST (Hubble Space Telescope) has the advantage because it is in space and has almost no distortion. It can see much farther than regular telescopes.
How did the Hubble space telescope solve problems?
It does not solve problems the Hubble was just made out of human curioity to explore space and to see what is out there inohter words to explore space to answer our questions.
What is the name of the telescope that was sent out in space so it could see sharper and clearer images of planets star and deep space?
HUBBLE
What is the job the hubble space Telescope?
to take photographs of very distant galaxies, and show data of them to NASA. It is used, because there is too much light pollution in a lot of places on Earth, making it hard to use a telescope, but in space there is no light pollution (therefore, it can see the galaxies that we can't see on Earth).
Why can a hubble space see farther into space than a telescope?
The Hubble can see further into space because it orbits outside of earth's atmosphere.
Where was the Hubble Space Telescope launched to?
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 into space to take pictures the Earth and to relay them back to its ground crew. See the official Hubble Space Telescope website: http://hubblesite.org/ ~ Hexedgirl92
Who was Hubble?
Hubble refers to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). It was launched on April 24 1990 from the space shuttle and has returned spectacular pictures to Earth of the solar system and beyond. See the Related Link below for more details. If you click on the 'Operations' tab when you are in the link, you can also see where Hubble is now, and when it will next pass over your location.
How far can hubble telescope see into space?
The Hubble Space Telescope can see out to a distance of several billions of light-years.
Why should telescopes such as Hubble produce more detailed images than Earth based telescopes?
Earth based telescopes have to see through the atmosphere and all the dust it contains. space telescopes like Hubble have nothing but clearspace to see through.

How are telescopes used in astronomy?
Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
What was the Hubble space station used for?
the hubble space station is used to see some new things happening in universe
What can be seen from out of space?
In outer space, you can see the Earth, as well as planets, moons, the sun, and other stars, without being hindered by the Earth's atmosphere. It is much clearer, and having the Hubble space telescope in Earth orbit allows it to see much more than any optical telescope could ever see on the Earth's surface.
What advantages does the hubble space telescope have?
It does not have the interference caused by the earth's atmosphere to see through, so it can make a better quality image.
Why can hubble space telescopes see much further into space and product much clearer images then telescopes on earth?
Because light is absorbed and disturbed as it passes through air ... effects that ground-based telescopes have to live with but Hubble doesn't.
