Why can't the Hubble telescope see mercury?
The Hubble Space Telescope can't view the Sun directly as its brightness would damage the delicate instruments. Hubble can't view Mercury because it orbits too close to the Sun.
What would happen if the telescope had never been invented?
We cannot sea the space
What space instrument would you use to view Proxima Centauri?
To view things from far away is called a binocular
What are facts about the hubble telescope?
Hubble Space Telescope's Name:NASA named the world's first space-based optical telescope after American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble (1889-1953). Dr. Hubble confirmed an "expanding" universe, which provided the foundation for the Big Bang theory.Cool Fact:Scientists believe our universe began with a "big bang" some 13.7 billion years ago. If all the events in the history of the universe until now were squeezed into 24 hours, Earth wouldn't form until late afternoon and humans would have existed for only 2 seconds.Hubble Space Telescope's Mission:Launch: April 24, 1990 from space shuttle Discovery (STS-31)Deployment: April 25, 1990Mission Duration: Up to 20 yearsServicing Mission 1: December 1993Servicing Mission 2: February 1997Servicing Mission 3A: December 1999Servicing Mission 3B: February 2002Hubble Space Telescope's Size: Length: 43.5 ft (13.2 m)Weight: 24,500 lb (11,110 kg)Maximum Diameter: 14 ft (4.2 m)Hubble is nearly the size of a large school bus-but it can fit inside a space shuttle cargo bay.Cost at Launch:$1.5 billionSpaceflight Statistics:The Hubble Space Telescope whirls around Earth at a speed of 5 miles per second. If cars moved that fast, a coast-to-coast trip across the continental United States would take only 10 minutes. Orbit: At an altitude of 307 nautical miles (569 km, or 353 miles), inclined 28.5 degrees to the equator (low-Earth orbit)Who built the Hubble?Lyman Spitzer Jr. was the one who came up with the idea of "a space telescope". NASA liked the idea and soon funding was coming in from the government and universities. In 1990 the Hubble was completed and launched into orbit.
It looks into space and rhymes with rope?
uh...that would be telescope or dope.
What is from space that would start with the letter h?
· Hubble telescope
How much would it cost to build a telescope?
the hubble space telescope cost 1.5 million dollars
What types of technology would a scientist use to study the night sky?
a hubble space telescope
Why can't the Hubble telescope see mercury?
The Hubble Space Telescope can't view the Sun directly as its brightness would damage the delicate instruments. Hubble can't view Mercury because it orbits too close to the Sun.
Why was the hubble telescope placed in space?
Otherwise it would fall towards the earth due to gravitational attraction.
What is the name of a famous refracting telescope?
NASA's most famous telescope is probably the Hubble Telescope that orbits the earth.
How has the hubble space telescope affected NASA scientist astonomers around the world?
because people would die
How would use distance decay in a sentence?
the Hubble space telescope was observed to distance decay in two years.
How many years will the Hubble Space Telescope observe over the entire sky of 100 billion galaxies since the Hubble Ultra Deep Field is roughly one ten-millionth of the sky?
It would take at least 1,000,000 years for the Hubble Space Telescope to observe over the entire sky of 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
What would happen if the telescope had never been invented?
We cannot sea the space
Was the Hubble telescope discontinued?
Not yet. The Hubble Space Telescope is still in space, still operational. In fact, it received a substantial upgrade just last spring, with new gyroscopes, new sensors and a new communications array. But the main telescope cannot be upgraded without being entirely rebuilt, which cannot be done in space. The original plan was that the Hubble Space Telescope would be captured in orbit by the Space Shuttle, returned to Earth, and rebuilt. Later, it would be re-launched. But because the Space Shuttle fleet itself is scheduled to be retired in the next few years, this plan has been abandoned. The HST is tentatively scheduled to be de-orbited and crashed into the ocean in about 7 more years. With luck, there will be an even more powerful space telescope to replace it, but this is not yet firmly scheduled.
Can you study astronomy with a satellite?
Yes, many satellites are used for a range of astronomical observations the most famous of which would be the Hubble Space Telescope.
