From a distant viewpoint, the Hubble Telescope looks like a tiny dot. Coming up closer, it looks a little bit like a elongated cylinder covered in tin foil, similar to the cardboard core of a roll of toilet paper covered in tin foil, with wings (solar panels) attached to both sides.

What is the purpose of a space station?
Space stations are not important for scientific research. They are important for space exploration, that is in order to put humans on Mars. However, instruments like the Hubble space telescope are much more important for scientific research as they enable us to look into unknown regions of space. As such they improve our understanding of the universe. Of similar importance are particle accelerators like the LHC at CERN in Switzerland which probe matter at the smallest scale and thus help us understand fundamental questions of particle physics for example the origin of mass.
What tools do scientists use from space to study space Why can they only be used from space?
telescopes because they are meant to look into space
Why do telescopes in space produce better images than those on Earth?
Telescopes in space produce better images than those on Earth because light and other radiation that is recorded by telescopes in space does not pass through the atmosphere, which could blur the image.

What is a flyby space probe?
It is a telescope placed in space (like the hubble telescope). When placed in space the telescope does not have to "look" through the earth's atmosphere so its images are not destorted.
Who was Hubble?
Hubble refers to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). It was launched on April 24 1990 from the space shuttle and has returned spectacular pictures to Earth of the solar system and beyond. See the Related Link below for more details. If you click on the 'Operations' tab when you are in the link, you can also see where Hubble is now, and when it will next pass over your location.
What kind of telescope is the hubble space telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope, or HST, or just the "Hubble" for most folks, is a Ritchey-Chrétien reflector telescope. It has a primary mirror to reflect and focus the incident light. A link is provided below.
How big does the earth look from the Hubble telescope with the naked eye?
First off, your question is contradictory. You cannot look at any object with a telescope and with your naked eye at the same time. Naked eye means that you are looking at the object without any visual aid. The Hubble Telescope is never pointed at Earth. The Earth is too bright from that height and that high intensity could damage the Telescope's cameras. For pictures of the Earth from space, you can look up some images from the ISS or the Space Shuttle.
Which instrument has helped scientist look the farthest into the universe?
The Hubble Telescope
