The problem with ground based telescopes is that the atmosphere distorts images, The Hubble space telescope is above the atmosphere and therefore can view with much better clarity.
The original total cost estimate for the Hubble Space Telescope started out at US$400 million. It eventually cost over $2.5 billion to construct. Overall, with repairs, upgrades and operating it, Hubble had cost US$10 billion as of 2010. These figures were reported by NASA in 2012. (See the references in the related links.)
Edwin Hubble invented a simple classification system for galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope was named after him for his discoveries in astronomy.
it cost about $3,000 to oprate the hubble
The Hubble Space Telescope is designed to provide much greater clarity of imaging than ground-based telescopes. Without the distortions caused by the atmosphere, Hubble has provided the sharpest images yet of the planets, stars, and nebulae. This clarity is especially important in viewing faraway galaxies and other phenomena, which can appear extremely faint at such incredibly vast distances from Earth.
Because light is absorbed and disturbed as it passes through air ... effects that ground-based telescopes have to live with but Hubble doesn't.
Nothing will "replace" the Hubble Space Telescope. However, a couple of new space telescopes are already in space, and another much more powerful one, the Webb Space Telescope, is under construction and should be launched in 2014.

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.
there are many probes in space. There is the Hubble space telescope, voyager voyager 2. Here are just some probes in space. there too much to name all of them.
He doesnt travel.. The Hubble telescope is stationairy and only in space to bypass the atmosphere. The Hubble telescope maginfies so much, that if you are beneath the atmosphere, you get a blurry image. Like looking through a dirty window. So they shot it in space. Beyond the "dirty window".
the hubble space telescope cost 1.5 million dollars
1.Before Hubble, we didn't know too much about Space. With the images that NASA cought, we know a lot more. 2. NASA cought a great picture called, Ryans Galaxy. It shows us in the galaxy how universises are formed and the wonders of Space.
The Hubble Space Telescope, along with most man-made satellites, is in a low earth orbit. It remains 559 km from the earth. This is much closer than the moon, which orbits at an average distance of 384,392 km. It would be very difficult to have a man made satellite orbit further away from the earth than the moon without the moon interfering in its orbit.
Most large earth bound telescopes cannot see clear images of objects in deep space. Our. atmosphere distorts the pictures with shimmery air. The HST (Hubble Space Telescope) has the advantage because it is in space and has almost no distortion. It can see much farther than regular telescopes.

There is minimal atmospheric disturbance up where the Hubble orbits. Down here on Earth we have to contend with the atmosphere.
