When the Hubble's mirrors were first manufactured, they were polished and curved to exacting standards and very high tolerances in order to retrieve the highest quality images. However, the mirrors were obviously made in the Earth's gravity. When the Hubble was launched and the mirrors were in "micro gravity" (free-fall) the mirrors deformed very slightly, but just enough to return slightly fuzzy images. A repair was designed to repair the slight deformation years later.

Why is Hubble better than telescopes?
Hubble is better than ground-based telescopes because it operates above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and block visible light. This allows Hubble to capture clearer and sharper images of the cosmos. Additionally, its position in space provides a wider field of view and enables it to observe ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths that are not easily accessible from the ground.
Should telescopes go inside or outside?
Telescopes are used inside
What could be wrong with the power mirrors on a 2001 GMC Jimmy the mirrors only go up when the button is pushed to get them back down the mirror has to be push by hand?
If this is affecting both mirrors, then the switch is likely bad. There may be a problem with the drive mechanism. Remove and disassemble the mirror to locate the problem.

Did Edwin Hubble have anything to do with the Hubble Space Telescope?
No, Edwin Hubble had nothing directly to do with the Hubble Telescope, it was named for him because he profoundly changed the understanding of the nature of the universe. Hubble died before the the physical exploration of space began. Hubble also created his own Hubble telescope back in 1929 but it is not the orbiting Hubble telescope. Go to the NASA website for more information.

How are telecopes used?
It really depends on what type of telescope. Reflector, vs. refractor vs. Cassigrain. If u want it for recreation go to orion.com or to an Orion store. If its for school, they all work on the basis of reflected light off of one or more mirrors. :D
