Is the Hubble telescope bigger than the earth?
No, the Hubble Space Telescope is not bigger than the Earth. The Earth has a much larger diameter (approximately 12,742 kilometers) compared to the Hubble Space Telescope, which is about 13.2 meters long and 4.2 meters wide.
How long did it take to build the Hubble Telescope?
It took 20 years to build and launch the hubble telescope, a total of seven years after the proposed launched date in 1983, and even then it was not operational as one of it's main mirrors had been fitted incorectly, and it took another three years for a servicing mission made it fully operational. I have no idea
How long is the hubble telescope expected to last?
The last service should allow the Hubble to function until 2014, when its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope is due to be launched.However, current space operations have far outlived some of their expectations, so the Hubble could stay in service a lot longer.
What are the dimensions of the Hubble space Telescope?
The Hubble telescope is housed in an artificial satellite that is 13.2 m (43 ft) long, the primary mirror has a diameter of 2.4 m (7.9 ft) and has a collecting area of 4.5 m2 (48 sq ft).
How long was the Hubble Telescope in orbit?
HST has been in continuous orbit since it was deployed in 1990.
How tall is the Hubble space telescope?
43.5 feet long
How did Edwin hubble discover the telescope?
Edwin Hubble didn't invent the Hubble Space Telescope, and he never knew of it. It was named in his honor and memory long after his death.
Is the Hubble telescope bigger than the earth?
No, the Hubble Space Telescope is not bigger than the Earth. The Earth has a much larger diameter (approximately 12,742 kilometers) compared to the Hubble Space Telescope, which is about 13.2 meters long and 4.2 meters wide.
How long did the hubble telescope take to build?
Construction began in 1977 and it was ready for launch in 1985, around eight years later. It was not launched until April 24, 1990 though, due to delays from the Challenger disaster in 1986.
Does the Hubble telescope come down?
Not for a long time yet. It stays in space.
Is the infrared light too long or short?
how is named after the hubble space telescope
How long does the hubble space telescope revolves around the sun?
365 Days.
How long did it take to build the Hubble Telescope?

How long has the hubble space telescope been in space?
Hubble was launched 24 April 1990, at 8:33:51 EDT and achieved orbit that day. As of 24 February 2014, Hubble has been orbiting 23 years 10 months 1 day.
What new telescope is nasa going to launch when the hubble space telescope falls back to earth?
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.
Why do they use the hubble telescope and not just a telescope?
In space there is no atmosphere and therefore, there are no perturbations of long exposures that you need to make when taking pix of very distant objects.
Why did Edwin hubble make a space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was flown into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31, on April 24, 1990. On the subsequent servicing mission, in December, 1993, flaws in the original optics were corrected.
