How did Hubble space telescope affect the world?
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation. A 2.4 meter (7.9 ft) aperture telescope in low Earth orbit, Hubble's four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared. The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble.Hubble's orbit outside the distortion of Earth's atmosphere allows it to take extremely sharp images with almost no background light. Hubble's Ultra Deep Field image, for instance, is the most detailed visible-light image ever made of the universe's most distant objects. Many Hubble observations have led to breakthroughs in astrophysics, such as accurately determining the rate of expansion of the universe.Although not the first space telescope, Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The HST was built by the United States space agency NASA, with contributions from the European Space Agency, and is operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute. The HST is one of NASA's Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.Space telescopes were proposed as early as 1923. Hubble was funded in the 1970s, with a proposed launch in 1983, but the project was beset by technical delays, budget problems, and the Challenger disaster. When finally launched in 1990, scientists found that the main mirror had been ground incorrectly, significantly compromising the telescope's capabilities. However, after a servicing mission in 1993, the telescope was restored to its intended quality.Hubble is the only telescope designed to be serviced in space by astronauts. Between 1993 and 2002, four missions repaired, upgraded, and replaced systems on the telescope, but a fifth mission was canceled on safety grounds following the Columbia disaster. However, after spirited public discussion, NASA administrator Mike Griffin approved one final servicing mission, completed in 2009. The telescope is now expected to function until at least 2014. Its scientific successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), is to be launched in 2018 or possibly later.
What is australias role in space exploration?
the parkes telescope in Australia gave the world images of the first moon landing.
Is the Hubble telescope the biggest space telescope in the world?
Yes currently although the James Web Telescope will be bigger when it is launched.
Which is the first space telescope in the world?
Though not the first one, yet one of the most popular space telescopes is the Hubble Space telescope. It's named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, and was carried into orbit by space shuttle Discovery in April 1990. It marks a landmark in the growth of astronomy world over, and is also considered to be a vital research tool. During my trip to the US Space and Rocket Centre at Huntsville, Alabama as a member of Space Camp India (http://spacecampindia.com/) I had seen images sent back by the Hubble Telescope. We also got to learn how the telescope functions.
Most powerful telescope in the world?
it should be the hubble space telescope because it can see 10 times better than a normal telescope
What is the name of a famous refracting telescope?

What country is the world largest space telescope in?
It's in North Korea, on the coast.
What was seen out of the world's first telescope?
Mars
Has the Hubble space telescope helped people in society?
Oh yes it has helped people all over the world.
How has the hubble space telescope affected NASA scientist astonomers around the world?
because people would die
Is the Hubble telescope the biggest telescope in the world?
No, the biggest telescope in the world currently is the Large Binocular Telescope. But Hubble is the biggest spacetelescope.
What space probe or satellite was sent to Europa one of Jupiter's Moons?
The European Cassini/ Huygens mission successfully launched the Huygens probe into the methane smog atmosphere surrounding Titan. The probe slowly parachuted down and sent pictures back to Earth of this icy world. It landed on a frozen beach surrounded by rocks of Ice.
Where is the Hubble telescope in the world?
The Hubble Space Telescope is gravitationally bound to the world but is nowhere in the world. It is orbiting the earth in a nearly circular path 240 miles above the surface, completing one revolution every 100 minutes or so. I don't know the inclination of its path to the equator.
