The Hubble Space Telescope (the HST or just the Hubble) is in earth orbit. Oh! You mean where in earth orbit! NASA is keeping an eye on it, and you can look over their shoulder by using the link provided.

Why is the hubble space telescopes considered the eye in the sky?

The atmosphere of earth tends to distort images from space. Since Hubble operates outside earths atmosphere, the images it can produce are much more clear.

What are the special instruments used in studying the sky?

Generally telescopes. These can vary from small affairs you set up in the garden to study the sky, to those actually in the sky as with the Hubble Space Telescope. There are also many dotted around in observatories.


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.
