What is the age of the universe according to hubble telescope?
The universe is roughly 14 billion years old.
What is a space word that starts wit a h?
The space word that starts with a "H" is "Hubble." The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and it remains in operation today. Astronauts have made five servicing missions to the telescope which has been responsible for some of the most important discoveries of the past 30 years. Its observations have been crucial in advancing our knowledge of the universe from the age of the universe to the existence of dark energy.The Hubble Space Telescope has been responsible for many scientific breakthroughs including: Measuring the rate of expansion of the universe Discovering the presence of dark matter Observing stars in the early universe Confirming the existence of black holes Detecting planets outside our solar systemThe Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized astronomy and continues to be a valuable tool in the exploration of space. It is one of the most successful space missions ever conducted and its discoveries have changed the way we understand the universe.
What has the hubble telescope discoverd?
The Hubble telescope has expanded man's understanding of the universe in many ways. Here are a few: * helped astronomers determine the age of the universe much more accurately, * played a key role in discovering that a mysterious form of energy called dark energy is making the universe expand at a faster and faster rate, * detected the elements sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen in the atmosphere of a a large planet outside our solar system, * confirmed most galaxies have a black hole at their center, * proved that quasars, tremendous generators of light and other radiation which lie at the outer reaches of the universe, are located at the center of galaxies,
How old do you have to be to be an astronomer?

How do scientists calculate the age of the universe?
thry mearsure the distance to the farthest galaxy Answer2. The age of the Universe is around 16 billion light years away or old. There are three completely independent means of measuring the age of our Universe, and all result in about the same age of 12 to 15 billion years: 1) Once a white dwarf is formed, it will remain stable for trillions of years. None have been found older than twelve billion years, however. 2) The inverse of the Hubble Constant -- ie, the time all matter in our observed Universe would return to sub-atomic size -- is about thirteen billion years. 3) Ratios of long-lasting radioactive isotopes to their decay products give close to the same value as (2).
Why the age of the universe equals 66.6 percent of hubble time?
As far as I understand, the projected age of the universe is about 99.5% of the estimated "Hubble time". The age is projected by applying a correction factor to the inverse Hubble constant. The correction factor applied depends on the value of the cosmological constant. The constant is derived from WMAP observation data, and valued at 0.976. For a flat universe without cosmological constant, the value would have been 0.666, resulting in a projected age 66.6% of the Hubble time.
What would your estimate be for the age of the universe if you measured Hubble's constant to be 11 kilometers per second per million light-years?
28 billion years
How would you work out the Hubble constant if the earth is 12.5 billion years old?
The Earth is not 12 billion years old. It is more like 5 billion years old. Hubble's constant cannot be determined from the age of the Earth. Hubble's constant describes how fast the universe is expanding. It can be determined by looking at the redshifts of stars that are a known distance away. From the redshift, one can determine the velocity of the star. Then Hubble's constant is defined as follows: v=Hd where v is the velocity of the star, H is Hubble's constant and d is the distance to the star. The current accepted value of Hubble's constant is about 71 km/s/Mpc.

How has cosmic background radiation helped us determine the age of the universe?
The CMBR did not reveal anything DIRECTLY about the age of our Universe. However, its spectrum and isotropy are almost perfectly as predicted by a Universe that began to expand about thirteen billion years ago -- a timeline given by the Hubble Constant. As such, it gives extremely strong support to that timeline.
According to the big bang theory shouldn't there be empty space the distance of twice the age of the universe?
Your question presumes that the "fundamental" physical "constants" like the speed of light, the gravitational constant or the Hubble constant are in fact constant, which is a matter of some speculation. We have not noticed them to change, but we've only known that these things existed for a little over 100 years - and the universe is about 14 billion years old. (Any claim to greater accuracy is itself speculative.)
Scientists say that thr Universe started about 14 billion years ago Does this allow us to determine the size or total area of the Universe?
It is more likely that we derived the age of the universe from its present size. The age depends upon the value of the Hubble Constant, which probably isn't really a constant in the strictest sense.As for the area of the universe, regarding it as a sphere is probably a mistake. The topology of the universe is different from that of the 3 dimensional objects with which we are familiar. ---- The answer is No. According to Astrophysicist David Palmer, we cannot currently determine the actual size of the Universe; but only attempt to determine the size of the "known" Universe which is that part of the Universe that we can see. It's analogous to standing in a stationary position in the middle of a dessert. We will be able to view sand all around us; but will have no idea how much more sand may lie beyond that which we can see.

What age did Edwin Hubble die at?
63 years old
How does Olbers' Paradox relate with the Big Bang?
If our Universe were infinite both in size and age, then our entire sky would, by necessity, be filled with light at all times. That it is not is Olber's Paradox -- and indication that our Universe must be finite in either size or age. The Big Bang was a hypthesis that it was finite in age; and every prediction made by the BB that has been tested has supported the hypothesis.
How old was Edwin Hubble at death?
Edwin Powell Hubble was born November 20th, 1889 and died September 28th, 1953.He died at age 63 of a cerebral thrombosis (a spontaneous blood clot in his brain) in San Marino, California.See related link for more information.
Hubbles revised figure is that the universe is only 8 billion years old and the hubble site says the telescope can see for 20 billion years What is going on?
The accepted age of the Earth is about 14.5 billion years. I have not seen the figures that you cite.
