What have we found out by using the hubble telescope?
We have found out loads of stuff. From dark energys to.... That's the only thing I know.... For useful info check out Hubble website!
What have you found out by using the hubble telescope?
They found out what the stars are made of and they also got to see billions of light years away which was never possible.
What kind of telescope is the hubble telescope?
HST is a Cassegrain reflecting telescope using the Ritchey–Chrétien design, with an aperture of 7.9' (2.4m). It has observational ability in the Ultraviolet, Infrared, and Visible light spectrums.
How many years will the hubble space telescope stay in space?
It was launched in 1990 with an anticipated life span of 25 years. The first servicing mission by the Space Shuttle in 1993 made repairs to correct errors in the optical telescope, and subsequent missions added new instruments. It is expected to reenter the Earth's atmosphere sometime after 2018, and NASA has plans to attach a booster rocket using a robot probe, so that Hubble's reentry can be controlled to miss human habitations and land in the ocean.
How did they fix the Hubble Telescope?
The slight optical defect (known as a spherical aberration, and less than 4 microns, 1/5 the thickness of a human hair) discovered in the Hubble's primary mirror after it was deployed in space, was corrected by a system known as COSTAR (Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement). Built by Ball Aerospace, it was manufactured and tested between the Hubble's first deployment and her First Servicing Mission in 1993.COSTAR (since replaced, as all Hubble instruments installed after the FSM have corrective optics) worked much like corrective eyeglasses, using a system of tiny mirrors to correct for the flaw. The result of COSTAR's installation (and all of us who worked on it waited with our breath held until it was operational and the first pictures were in) was nothing less than spectacular, restoring Hubble to its original design specifications.
What have we found out about using the hubble telescope?
we have found out nipples are hairy
What can the the hubble space telescope do?
The Hubble telescope can take extremely detailed pictures using mirrors in space.
What telescope was launched from the space shuttle orbiter using its robot's arm in 1990?
Hubble Space Telescope wala ka nang choiice Of FYI
What is the name nasa's most famous telescope?
The first large space telescope was the Hubble, and it's probably still the most famous one. But a LOT of the new and exciting work being done is using the Kepler Space Telescope, a device which was specially designed to search for planets around neighboring stars.

When is exoplanet gj 1214 b going to be studied using the hubble space telescope?
It actually has already. The Flat Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth GJ1214b from Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/1111.5621
Why hubble spacecraft is used to explore space?
Hubble is the name of a giant telescope that is in space. It is known as the Hubble Space Telescope and it is named after Edwin Hubble, who was a famous astronomer. It is very large and because it is outside the Earth's atmosphere it can get a clearer view of the stars, constellations, galaxies and other things it looks at, compared to a ground-based telescope. It has got some wonderful photographs and many new things have been seen with it and many new things have been learned about space by using it. That is why it is so important.

Why did Edwin hubble make a space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was flown into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31, on April 24, 1990. On the subsequent servicing mission, in December, 1993, flaws in the original optics were corrected.
What was wrong with the Hubble Space Telescope?
The problem with Hubble Space Telescope (the HST, or just the "Hubble") was that the primary reflector, that is, the mirror which redirects the incoming light to focus it, was ground using an incorrectly calibrated reference as a guide. This left it "out of focus" in areas farther from the center. There were a couple of checks for accuracy made with secondary references, and they were off, but the "warning" was ignored and the opinion was offered that the two secondary references were not as accurate as the primary reference was. More information can be had by reading the Wikipedia post on the Hubble. A link to that post can be found below.
