The Hubble telescope was the first telescope built by NASA and placed into orbit. The original launch for the telescope was delayed because of the disaster seen by the Challenger.
Originally scheduled for a 1986 deployment but delayed until 1990 due to the Challenger disaster, the Hubble was the first space telescope put into orbit by NASA
Because It Is Very High And If You Look Through A Telescope There You Can See It Better.
The Grand Canal was first built.
The Colosseum was built on the site of a huge lake that the emperor Nero had made for the public gardens of his Golden House. It goes without saying that Vespasian's engineers drained the lake first, but after the lake was drained, the foundation was in place.
It was built as a Catholic mission in the early 18th Century; a church to minister to the native peoples and spread the Catholic religion. The Spanish built such missions all over the world in the lands they controlled.
The first mosque that was built by Mohammed is called the Masjid An-Nabawi (مسجد النبوي) or the Prophet's Mosque. It is found in Medina, Saudi Arabia and is the second holiest place in Islam.

A reliable place to find legitimate space photos of space, including galaxies, stars, and planets, is the HubbleSite gallery. The pictures in this gallery are from the Hubble Space telescope, which is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation.
Unless you have an extremely narrow definition of "space exploration", no. Better candidates: China (for developing rockets in the first place), Italy (for the development, or at least first well-documented scientific use, of the telescope), Russia (for launching the first artificial satellite AND being the first country to put a human in orbit).
it was built in Italy
Canada built the arm in the space shuttle cargo bay used to retrieve satellites or place them back into orbit.
The first test model was built at Oak Ridge TN
It doesn't have to be big telescopes, there does not even have to be a telescope. It is called an observatory because it is a place where astronomical observations are made. Long before the first telescope was made there were observatories.
The Hubble Space Telescope is constantly moving, so wherever it is now, it won't be there in a minute from now. The HST is orbiting the Earth, about 350 miles up off the surface. It completes an orbit about once every 96-97 minutes, or 14-15 of them every day. The orbit is inclined about 28.5 degrees to Earth's equator, so the telescope is always directly over some place on Earth whose north or south latitude is 28.5 degrees or less.
The Hubble telescope was launched on 24 April 1990.
think it was the soviet union.............
