Where do they get the money for the hubble space telescope's launch?
From the US tax payer via the NASA budget.
How might the Hubble Space Telescope change today's model of the solar system?
Because we still use telescopes today, and it helped us build a more & new advanced telescope today
Two advantages of hubble space telescope being in space are?
1.Before Hubble, we didn't know too much about Space. With the images that NASA cought, we know a lot more. 2. NASA cought a great picture called, Ryans Galaxy. It shows us in the galaxy how universises are formed and the wonders of Space.
Are there other space telescopes besides the Hubble?
There are quite a few telescopes in space right now like the Hubble space telescope, Chandra X-Ray observatory, Spitzer space telescope, FERMI space telescope, the Herchel observatory, WISE telescope and the James Webb space telescope will soon be launched in 2014.
Why is Hubble's law important?
Hubble's Law states that the receding velocity of an object A, with relative to object B, is directly proportional to the distance between the two objects. It allows us to calculate the speeds of celestial bodies with respect to Earth, given that we know the distance to that object(which can be found by using Doppler's Red Shift).
What country was the Hubble telescope launched in?
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in the cargo bay of a Space Shuttle that took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US.
What was the telescope hubble named after?
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer that discovered that galaxies outside of the Local Group are moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distances.
Why did they build the hubble space telescope?
On our ability to view space is limited because of all the particles in our atmosphere that filter or refract light as it passes from space to us. The Hubble Space telescope was built to be an orbiting Telescope that was out of our atmosphere. It was used to probe the earliest reaches of the universe. The Hubble is roughly 370 miles from the Earth's surface. The newest space telescope created by NASA is the James Webb Space Telescope. That will be far more powerful than Hubble and will be in orbit around the sun 1 Million miles from Earth.

How does hubble telescope accomplish?
The Hubble Space Telescope is designed to see deep into space. So it has taken many fascinating photos of the outer reaches of the universe, or in our own galaxy. It has accomplished taking many photos for scientists to study, and for us to see.

How much did the hubble space telescope cost?
The original total cost estimate for the Hubble Space Telescope started out at US$400 million. It eventually cost over $2.5 billion to construct. Overall, with repairs, upgrades and operating it, Hubble had cost US$10 billion as of 2010. These figures were reported by NASA in 2012. (See the references in the related links.)
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.

How Important do you think three gyroscopes are to the hubble space telescope?
They are extremely important because they give us a view of the universe that is betterthan the telescopes on the ground.
Why does the hubble telescope help us?
it helps us by learning about the planets stars or astroids
