The Hubble space telescope uses optical sensors to gather data of distant objects; as it is located outside of the Earths atmosphere it is not subject to the distortions associated with terrestrial telescopes.
The Chandra (X-ray observatory) gathers x-ray data about the universe; again, this cannot be achieved with terrestrial based observatory instruments

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.
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 is Hubble better than telescopes?
The hubble is better because it has a camera.

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).
Who is the Hubble Space Telescopes named after?
Edwin Hubble
Are there telescopes in space besides Chandra and Hubble?
Yes there are there are many different ones, but here's just a few Herschell, planck, and Kelpler. They were recently sent and have a specific mission.
What is the first kind of telescopes?
hubble
What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
What invention help scientist discover the planets have moons?
The Hubble telescope helped scientists to do this.
Are there telescopes in space?
hubble space station
