Who is the Hubble Space Telescopes named after?
Edwin Hubble
Why are the images from the Hubble space telescope is clearer than images from telescopes on earth?
There are a few reasons. When you watch the stars at night, you’ve seen how they twinkle. This is because of atmospheric distortion, and that really hampers the ability of telescopes on Earth to get clear images. Since the Hubble is above the atmosphere, it isn’t affected by atmospheric distortion - for Hubble, the stars don’t twinkle. Another reason is that Hubble doesn’t have to contend with light pollution. Telescopes are places in areas where they sky is affected as little as possible by light, but there’s always some light. Another is that Hubble can take very long exposures. Telescopes on Earth are limited to observations at night, but Hubble can take very long exposures, and can observe an object indefinitely.
What views stars from orbit?
the Hubble Space Telescope
How far is Hubble telescope from earth?
Hubble's orbit is 366 miles (589 kilometers) above Earth
How have telescopes changed since they were invented?
They have changed because now there is a telescope in space called the "Hubble". I can see things that regular telescopes on Earth cannot see.
Who is the Hubble Space Telescopes named after?
Edwin Hubble
Why are there no astronomical telescopes in orbit?
There are several astronomical telescopes in orbit. The most famous is of course the Hubble, but COROT, MOST, and the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Observer are all visible light telescopes in orbit around Earth, and there's another - Kepler - that doesn't orbit Earth, but does orbit the Sun. There are also a multitude of orbital telescopes that use segments of the electromagnetic spectrum other than visible. Spitzer, for example, uses infrared light (it's another solar orbiter).
What is the first kind of telescopes?
hubble
What are Three telescopes that are currently collecting data in orbit around earth?
-Hubble space Telescope -International Space Station -Kepler Space Telescope
Is Hubble the only telescope orbiting earth?
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).
Are there telescopes in space?
hubble space station
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.
Telescopes that begin with the letter Hub?
Hubble telescope.
What was made to improve the viewing in space?
Telescopes like the Hubble
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.
What year did the hubble spacecraft orbit neptune?
Never. The Hubble telescope has never left orbit around Earth.
Were is the Hubble telescope based?
The Hubble is in orbit around planet earth.
