What did the Edwin hubble invent?
Edwin Hubble invented a simple classification system for galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope was named after him for his discoveries in astronomy.
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.
Where is the hubble space telescope located now?
Impossible to answer !... The Hubble Space Telescope is not located at a fixed point (geo-stationary orbit). It orbits the earth once every 95 minutes (approx) - at an inclination of 28.5 degrees. Therefore - although its position relative to the equator is fixed - it travels across the visible sky.
How far can Hubble telescope see?
This has been answered before but here it is again. The Hubble telescope with the light-collecting power of the W. M. Keck Telescopes can see 13 billion light years away based on the furthest detected galaxy to date. In comparison looking up into the sky on a very clear night, the Triangulum Galaxy can sometimes be seen by the naked eye. This is a distance of 3.14 million light years. The Andromeda Galaxy is also sometimes visible. This is a distance of 2.5 million light years.
Can you see the iss from earth?
Definitely. Go to the related link below. There you can set up your location, and get predictions for visible passes of the ISS, the Hubble Space Telescope, comets, planets, and all kinds of stuff in the sky.
Which telescope is considered the eye in the sky at present?
The Hubble Space Telescope is the "Eye in the Sky."
How many years will the Hubble Space Telescope observe over the entire sky of 100 billion galaxies since the Hubble Ultra Deep Field is roughly one ten-millionth of the sky?
It would take at least 1,000,000 years for the Hubble Space Telescope to observe over the entire sky of 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
What types of technology would a scientist use to study the night sky?
a hubble space telescope
What did the Edwin hubble invent?
Edwin Hubble invented a simple classification system for galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope was named after him for his discoveries in astronomy.
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.
How far can a telescope see into the sky?
The type of telescope determines how far it can see into the sky. It becomes a question of details. A naked eye can see a lightyear away but not details. A standard telescope can see to the 10th magnitude while the eye can see to the 6th.
Where to buy a telescope in Egypt?
Please visit Facebook group : best eye on the sky
Where is the hubble Space Lab in the night sky?
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.
What tool would you use to view stars in the nighttime sky?
Naked eye, binoculars or telescope

Is it possible to see the origin of the galaxy with a telescope?
No. We have so far been able to see to approximately one billion years or a bit less after the Big Bang. The best telescope for this sort of thing is the Hubble telescope. The best images we have seen of the ancient galaxy are called the Hubble Deep Field Images, and they show many, many, galaxies and proto-galaxies, in just a tiny fraction of our night sky.
