How much does the Hubble telescope weigh?
The Hubble Telescope weighs 24,500 pounds.
Why did the Hubble telescope take off into space?
The problem with ground based telescopes is that the atmosphere distorts images, The Hubble space telescope is above the atmosphere and therefore can view with much better clarity.
How much did the hubble telescope cost?
The cost at launch in 1990 was 1.5 billion US-$.
What did the Edwin hubble invent?
Edwin Hubble invented a simple classification system for galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope was named after him for his discoveries in astronomy.
How much did the Hubble telescope cost to build?
It was actually 1.5 billion dollars. However, first images came back from the Hubble blurred, due to a faulty mirror. This was a big and even dangerous job to fix, and on top of that, it brought the total cost up to around $6 Billion USD. Ouch.
How much would it cost to build a telescope?
the hubble space telescope cost 1.5 million dollars
How much does the Hubble telescope weigh?
The Hubble Telescope weighs 24,500 pounds.
What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescope you have?
It's much more powerful
How much has the hubble telescope cost?
1.5 billion US-$ at the launch in 1990.
How much did the SETI telescope cost?
They use many types of telescopes. You can probably pick up the cheaper ones for as little as $25,000. The Hubble Space Telescope cost $1,500,000,000 ($1.5 billion) just to build.
How far does the hubble telescope travel?
He doesnt travel.. The Hubble telescope is stationairy and only in space to bypass the atmosphere. The Hubble telescope maginfies so much, that if you are beneath the atmosphere, you get a blurry image. Like looking through a dirty window. So they shot it in space. Beyond the "dirty window".
Why did the Hubble telescope take off into space?

How much did the hubble telescope cost?

How much money was spent to making the hubble telescope?
It says 1.2 billion in this website but i'm not so sure........
What is replacing Hubble space telescope?
Nothing will "replace" the Hubble Space Telescope. However, a couple of new space telescopes are already in space, and another much more powerful one, the Webb Space Telescope, is under construction and should be launched in 2014.
What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescope you are?
The Hubble telescope is in space so it doesn't have a problem with atmospheric distortion. Therefore The Hubble telescope get's a much clearer picture than any normal land telescope which gets a less clear a picture because of water vapour and diffraction of light.
How is the Hubble telescope different from a normal telescope used by astronomers on earth?
The main difference is that it is in orbit, above the atmosphere of the earth. This means that it can achieve a much better picture, since the light from the object in space wont be distorted by the atmosphere and its fluctuations. It means that the Hubble telescope can get away with using a much higher magnification.
