What kind of telescope is the hubble space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope, or HST, or just the "Hubble" for most folks, is a Ritchey-Chrétien reflector telescope. It has a primary mirror to reflect and focus the incident light. A link is provided below.
Which telescopes are placed on mountains?
an opital telescope
When was the hubble space telescope placed into space?
1990
Natural and artificial satellite?
A natural satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their by natural means; in other words accidentally. An artificial satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their intentionally.
Give at least one characteristic of each if the four main layers of earths atmosphere?
In the four main layers of the earth\'s atmosphere weather occurs in the troposphere, airplanes fly in the stratosphere, meteors are burned in the mesosphere, and satellites are placed in the thermosphere.
Why would an X-ray telescope based on Earth not be able to detect X-Rays emitted distant stars?
blocked by the Earths atmosphere but can be detected by telescopes placed in orbit round the Earth
What is a flyby space probe?
It is a telescope placed in space (like the hubble telescope). When placed in space the telescope does not have to "look" through the earth's atmosphere so its images are not destorted.
When was the first telescope built by nasa placed into orbit?
the first telescope built by NASA placed into orbit was the hubble space telescope.

Is Gene Roddenberry's body orbiting in space?
No. A portion of his ashes were placed on a satellite in orbit, but the orbit of this satellite decayed and it burned up in Earth's atmosphere. A new mission is planned which will send some of his ashes into deep space.
What limitation of a refracting telescope could be 'overcome by placing the telescope in space?
If the telescope were placed in space (like hubble) the images would be greatly improved due to the lack of both atmosphere and ambient light, such as streetlights. The lack of atmosphere means that the light from distant objects need not travel through turbulent gases found in the atmosphere. this would eliminate the 'twinkling' of stars, and the lack of ambient light would result in much greater detail in the image.

A natural satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their by natural means; in other words accidentally. An artificial satellite is something that is in orbit of another thing that was placed their intentionally.
What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
