Does the Hubble telescope show living stars of just the light from the star?

Any time you see something, with your eyes or with an instrument, it is because light from the object reaches you. This light takes a while to reach you; if the object is at a distance of 30 centimeters, it will take a nanosecond; if it comes from the star Rigil Kentaurus, it will take over 4 years, and if it comes from the galaxy M31, it will take 2-3 million years. That means that if we see the light from a distant star, it may already be dead (from a certain point of view - see the definition of simultaneity in the Theory of Relativity).

The light from distant stars and other objects can be distorted in many ways which type of optical telescope best avoids the problem caused by distortion?
Space Telescope such as the Hubble Space Telescope
Who first attached a spectroscope to a telescope to study the spectrum of stars?
Hubble
Why is the Hubble space telescope in space and not on Earth?
Because the earths atmosphere tends to block and stir up some of the light from stars and so by having a telescope not in the atmosphere no light is blocked and there are no air currents or density differences so you can see more than a telescope on the ground.
What astronomy word begins with h?
Helium, Hydrogen (elements in stars and planets). Hubble (astronomer and telescope). Hercules (constellation) Heliocentric theory. Hypergiant (star). HR diagram.
What object would help us see stars and planets in your solar system more clearly?
a telescope because if you never heard of the Hubble telescope that is like the international telescope.
What views stars from orbit?
the Hubble Space Telescope

What is the name of the telescope that studies dust after stars are formed?
Hubble

Is the hubble telescope invasion of privacy?
No invasion of privacy. The telescope aims at the stars in space and not at objects on Earth.
What have you found out by using the hubble telescope?
They found out what the stars are made of and they also got to see billions of light years away which was never possible.

Why have a Hubble Telescope?
So that man can and see and study the stars in away not possible from earth.
Why do you use a hubble space telescope?
to try to find the beginning of the universe..to study the stars...
Why does the hubble telescope help us?
it helps us by learning about the planets stars or astroids
What has the Hubble Telescope accomplished?
it has taken pictures of far away galaxies, stars, and planets.
What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescope you are?
The Hubble telescope is in space so it doesn't have a problem with atmospheric distortion. Therefore The Hubble telescope get's a much clearer picture than any normal land telescope which gets a less clear a picture because of water vapour and diffraction of light.
