Who is the Hubble Space Telescopes named after?
Edwin Hubble
Why are the images from the Hubble space telescope is clearer than images from telescopes on earth?
There are a few reasons. When you watch the stars at night, you’ve seen how they twinkle. This is because of atmospheric distortion, and that really hampers the ability of telescopes on Earth to get clear images. Since the Hubble is above the atmosphere, it isn’t affected by atmospheric distortion - for Hubble, the stars don’t twinkle. Another reason is that Hubble doesn’t have to contend with light pollution. Telescopes are places in areas where they sky is affected as little as possible by light, but there’s always some light. Another is that Hubble can take very long exposures. Telescopes on Earth are limited to observations at night, but Hubble can take very long exposures, and can observe an object indefinitely.
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 is the hubble telescope better than other telescopes?
it is outside of the atmosphere therefor no atmospheric inerference
Which of the following is not an advantage the Hubble Space Telescope has over ground based telescopes?
It is closer to the stars
Who is the Hubble Space Telescopes named after?
Edwin Hubble
What is the first kind of telescopes?
hubble
Are there telescopes in space?
hubble space station
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.
Telescopes that begin with the letter Hub?
Hubble telescope.
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.
What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescopes you have?
The Hubble telescope is different from land based telescopes in that being in space it does not suffer atmospheric distortion, thus clearer pictures.
Are the Hubble Telescopes photos of the transit of Venus available to view?
yes
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.
How do astronomers know what lies the outer planets?
Telescopes : e.g. The Hubble Telescope .
