It is the first outer space telescope and the images are so much more accurate it overall helps astronomers to have a better idea f what it actually looks like as normal telescopes are distorted by the earths atmosphere

Why was the Hubble Space Telescope related to Edwin Hubble?

The Hubble Space Telescope was named in honor of Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer who made significant contributions to the field of observational cosmology. Hubble's work helped to demonstrate that the universe is expanding, which laid the foundation for our current understanding of the universe's evolution and structure. Naming the telescope after him was a tribute to his groundbreaking research and legacy in the field of astronomy.


How far does the hubble telescope travel?

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".


Where did the Hubble Space Telescope visit?

It is a telescope and not a probe, so it doesn't really visit any place.


Why is the hubble space telescope so special?

-Because it was the fist telescope that can see outside our solar system.


If the Hubble Space Telescope works so well why not make a much bigger one and get an even better picture of the universe?

Money, it all comes down to money. The Hubble telescope is a multimillion dollar thing, i think its total cost is in the billions. So imagine what a better one would cost! Plus, the Hubble telescope has been able to do everything we needed it to. So until it can't keep up, i think we will keep good old Mr Hubble.


Why was the hubble space telescope so effective?

Why hubble spacecraft is used to explore space?

Hubble is the name of a giant telescope that is in space. It is known as the Hubble Space Telescope and it is named after Edwin Hubble, who was a famous astronomer. It is very large and because it is outside the Earth's atmosphere it can get a clearer view of the stars, constellations, galaxies and other things it looks at, compared to a ground-based telescope. It has got some wonderful photographs and many new things have been seen with it and many new things have been learned about space by using it. That is why it is so important.


What type of telescope is the hubble telescope?

The Hubble telescope was a basic reflector telescope with a 94.5 ft mirror. The Hubble collects light though its open end, the primary mirror reflects the light to a secondary mirror that then reflects the light through a hole in the primary mirror to a focal point of the instruments or eyes of the Hubble.


Why have a Hubble Telescope?

So that man can and see and study the stars in away not possible from earth.


What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescope you are?

The Hubble telescope is in space so it doesn't have a problem with atmospheric distortion. Therefore The Hubble telescope get's a much clearer picture than any normal land telescope which gets a less clear a picture because of water vapour and diffraction of light.


What is an inexhaustible energy that is used to power the Hubble Space Telescope?

There's no such thing as "inexhaustible energy". However, the Hubble is powered by solar cells, and the Sun is expected to last billions of years longer than the Hubble itself, so as far as the telescope is concerned it's "inexhaustible".
