Do hubble telescopes only uses visible light?
There are a number of instruments aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The primary telescope does collect light in the visible spectrum.
What is the Difference between hubble space telescope and iternational space station?
There are a number of differences. First, they are in different orbits; the Hubble is higher than the ISS. The ISS is a lot bigger. Probably the most important difference is that the Hubble has a big telescope but no people, while the ISS has people but no big telescope.
When did the hubble brake?
There have been a number of problems with the Hubble Space Telescope over the years. Possibly the most serious was that the primary mirror of the telescope was incorrectly made; it was out of focus! Since there was no way to test it prior to launch, scientists didn't discover this until AFTER it had already been launched from the Space Shuttle and released into orbit. It was a GIANT disappointment. (The Hubble Space Telescope couldn't be tested on the ground, because the structure isn't strong enough to support its own weight in gravity.)For almost a year, the Hubble's telescope was as blind as man with broken glasses. Another Shuttle mission was required to install a corrective lens and bring the pictures back into proper focus.Since then the biggest problems have been batteries, computer systems and gyroscopes; several gyros have been replaced, and the main computer was replaced, and new more powerful instruments installed just this summer. At the moment, I believe that everything is working properly.
Are there any stars between Galaxies?
Yes, there are stars between galaxies. When there are collisions or interactions between galaxies, stars can be ripped out of the galaxies. These stars will then wander into space between galaxies. Such stars have been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Taken from http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=384
Can you see any manmade objects on the Moon from Earth?
There are a number of different man made artifacts that can be seen from the Moon. A few examples include the Great Wall of China and the World's Largest Billboard in Las Vegas, Nevada.
What was the Space Shuttle's flight number that put the Hubble space telescope in space?
35
Which space shuttle flight put the hubble space telescope into orbit and what was their fl ight number?
Hubble was launched by the Discovery Shuttle, flight no. STS-31. It launched on 24 April 1990, 12:33:51 UTC.
When was the Hubble set out to space?
Hubble was launched into space on April 24, 1990, at 8:33 a.m. EDT on board of the space shuttle Discovery with flight number STS-31.
Is theHubble telescope is an optical telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope has a number of instruments, but the primary one is an optical telescope.

Is Hubble the only telescope orbiting earth?
No, there's a great number of highly specialized telescopes in orbit. The most famous ones apart from Hubble are the Spitzer Space Telescope (for infrared) and the Chandra (for X-rays).
How far can the Hubble telescope see in meters?
That number is in the neighborhood of 132,360,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 . (rounded to the nearest sextillion meters)

What number of galaxies are in hubble field?
They are literally "uncountable"; every time we improve the telescope, we see more and more galaxies.
When was the first space shuttle flight?
The first flight into space for a shuttle was on April 12, 1981 as mission STS - 1, with John Young and Robert Crippen on-board Columbia.The space shuttle Enterprise, which was never intended for flight into space, first flew on 12 August 1977 at the start of a number of non-space test flights.
When was the Hubble Space telescope Invented?
There was not one specific day, nor one specific person -- rather, like most scientific inventions, it was a process that took some time and involved a number of scientists and researchers. Named after astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, the project was a collaboration between NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and several other organizations, including the European Space Agency. The research and experimentation for creating this kind of space telescope began in 1946, and continued throughout the 1960s. But it wasn't until the late 1970s that the Hubble project was funded by congress. After numerous problems and delays, the Hubble telescope was finally launched in 1990, with some needed fixes made to it by American astronauts in late 1993.
