What is the file size of a hubble space telescope picture?
The Hubble Space Telescope, HST, has four cameras - three wide field (WF) cameras and one planetary camera (PC). Most images from HST is assembled from images from these four cameras, of which the PC is in the top right hand corner - that's why images from Hubble has a staggered appearance in that section of the image. Each camera uses a CCD that renders 800x800 pixels.
What is the time taken for Hubble to complete one orbit around the earth?
the Hubble doesn't orbit the earth, it orbits the sun slowly fling farther and farther into space.
Which technology can allow a single ground-based telescope to achieve images as sharp as those from the Hubble Space Telescope?
adaptive optics
Is it true that the clearest images of objects in deep space are produced by a telescope in space?
Yes, telescopes in space, like the Hubble Space Telescope, produce the clearest images because images from ground-based telescopes get distorted when the light passes through the atmosphere.
What is the name of the telescope that was sent out in space so it could see sharper and clearer images of planets star and deep space?
HUBBLE
Why does the Hubble Space Telescope give clearer images than those from earth?
Hubble does not have to contend with the atmosphere of the earth which bends and distorts images from earth-based telescopes.
Do they always doctor the colors in Hubble images?
Yes, because the images are photographed in black & white.
What does difference look like?
Different galaxies have different shapes and sizes according to how many stars are in each. The best way to actually see them "up close" is by looking at images (some amazing ones are taken by the Hubble telescope).

Does the Hubble Telescope use mirrors or lenses to focus the image?
The Hubble Telescope uses both mirrors and lenses to focus on images.
Why is the hubble space telescopes considered the eye in the sky?
The atmosphere of earth tends to distort images from space. Since Hubble operates outside earths atmosphere, the images it can produce are much more clear.
Where might one view pictures taken with the Hubble Telescope?
To view pictures taken by the Hubble Telescope you can go to Hubble Site, Space Latest Views, Space Telescope, NASA, Discovery Channel and National Geographic.
Why can the hubble space telescope make images in visible light that are much better than images made by the telescopes on earth?
There is minimal atmospheric disturbance up where the Hubble orbits. Down here on Earth we have to contend with the atmosphere.
Why are images from the hubble space telescope important?
We understand earth and space more because of it.
Is the Hubble telescope better than a ground-based telescope?
yes, because it doesnt have the atmosphere in the way, the atmosphere distorts the images taken by ground based-telescopes because of the refraction of light. The hubbles telescope can provide clearer and more accurate images without this barrier in the way.

What does Hubble do as it orbits?
It captures images of space, and then sends them back down to earth via satellite.
