Why was the space shuttle program so important to the success of the hubble space telescope?

Many reasons. For one, the telescope was started and designed specifically with the space shuttle in mind. It was launched on a space shuttle, and only the space shuttle's ability to carry astronauts and capture satellites with the robotic arm made the correctional repairs possible. Several servicing missions by space shuttles have upgraded and replaced vital parts to extend the telescope's life and keep it in orbit. After the Columbia disaster, the space shuttle and telescope's futures were both in question. If the space shuttle never existed, we wouldn't have the Hubble space telescope either.


Jupiter has four bright moons that can be seen by the telescope why can you see them?

You can basically see them for the same reasons that you see Jupiter itself and our Moon, namely because they reflect light towards us. As they are much smaller than Jupiter, they reflect less light so it is more difficult to see them. You can see Jupiter with the naked eye, but with a good telescope you can also see its moons, spread out in a line around it.


What date is the longest day?

In terms of the amount of daylight, in the northern hemisphere it is June 21. It is December 21 in the southern hemisphere. There are other measurements of what the longest date is. When the clocks go back, you have one hour extra in the day, so that day is 25 hours long. Not all countries do put their clocks forward and back, and of those that do, some do it on different days of the year than others and each year the date it happens changes. So for those reasons there is no defined date for the 25 hour day in a year.

Why is Orion the most useful constellation to know in the night sky?

It may not be the MOST useful - I think that the Big Dipper is more helpful - but Orion is very handy for a number of reasons. First, it is very easy to recognize. Betelgeuse and Rigel are two of the brightest stars in the sky. Second, you can draw imaginary lines from the stars in Orion to other stars, like Sirius, Procyon, and Alpheratz. Third, if you have a good telescope, there are some very interesting stars and nebulae within Orion.

Why are most of the Olympics games held in the northern hemisphere?

Two reasons. Firstly holding the olympic games is expensive, and only rich countries can afford to, and most of the world's rich countries are in the Northern Hemisphere. Secondly, the northern hemisphere seasons are the opposite to the southern hemisphere's. Since athletes from the most influential countries in the world - Europe, most of Asia, and North America - train in the northern hemisphere, they are used to northern hemisphere seasons. Holding the games in the southern hemisphere makes these athletes' training regimes more difficult.
