It does not have a magnification properly speaking since it works as a camera, not a visual telescope. The aperture of the Cassegrain-Schmidt mirror is 2.4 m.
The main camera has 16 MB.

Who is the Hubble Space Telescopes named after?
Edwin Hubble
Which of the following is not an advantage the Hubble Space Telescope has over ground based telescopes?
It is closer to the stars
Why did the Hubble telescope take off into space?
The problem with ground based telescopes is that the atmosphere distorts images, The Hubble space telescope is above the atmosphere and therefore can view with much better clarity.
How have telescopes changed since they were invented?
They have changed because now there is a telescope in space called the "Hubble". I can see things that regular telescopes on Earth cannot see.
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.
Who is the Hubble Space Telescopes named after?
Edwin Hubble
Are there telescopes in space?
hubble space station
What was made to improve the viewing in space?
Telescopes like the Hubble
Why can hubble space telescopes see much further into space and product much clearer images then telescopes on earth?
Because light is absorbed and disturbed as it passes through air ... effects that ground-based telescopes have to live with but Hubble doesn't.
Can spectroscopes be put in space or on Earth or both?
All major astronomical telescopes are equipped with spectrographs, including the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes.
Why should telescopes such as Hubble produce more detailed images than Earth based telescopes?
Earth based telescopes have to see through the atmosphere and all the dust it contains. space telescopes like Hubble have nothing but clearspace to see through.
What has the hubble space telescope found out about space?
The Hubble spacecraft has found more anbout the stars and planets more clearly then the others saw from other telescopes.
How are telescopes used in astronomy?
Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
Telescopes are used by astronomers for?
To study outer space in greater detail through magnification.
How are exoplanets currently being detected?
The Hubble and Keppler space telescopes are detecting exoplanets
Why Hubble Telescope take pictures better than telescopes in observation?
Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.
What is better Reflecting or refracting telescopes?
The most serious astronomical research, such as that done by the Hubble Space Telescope, is done with reflecting telescopes.
