What else can I help you with?
What is the telescope that can see the farthest into space?
Oh, I see you're curious about the wonders of the cosmos! There have been various powerful telescopes that have helped us explore deep into space, such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope. These incredible tools allow us to witness the beauty and mystery of the universe beyond what we can see with our naked eye. It's truly inspiring to gaze into the vastness of space and wonder about all the possibilities out there.
How many space telescopes are currently in operation?
Ah, well isn't that a lovely question. Currently, there are several space telescopes bringing us joy by exploring the wonders of the universe. The exact number can vary, but rest assured that each one is a work of art in its own right, capturing the beauty of space for all to enjoy.
What is the best telescope in the world and why is it considered superior to others?
The best telescope in the world is generally considered to be the Hubble Space Telescope. It is superior to others because it orbits above Earth's atmosphere, which eliminates distortion caused by atmospheric conditions. This allows Hubble to capture incredibly clear and detailed images of distant galaxies, stars, and other celestial objects.
Was it worth spending all that money to make the hubble telescope?
Absolutely - most people only tend to view the science aspect of HST, and not the commercial application advancements that have been made in it's long history. Some of those you're probably familiar with, but don't realize where the development of the technology came from:Lithium Ion Batteries - Li Ion battery technology was further funded by NASA's Goddard Space Center for the HST/ISS Pistol Grip Tool, used to service the Hubble and construct the International Space Station. Though the design is based on a standard cordless drill (Black & Decker was initially approached for a design, but declined) the power pack is a series of Li Ion cells. The PGT was one key program I was responsible for, and it was initially used in 1997 on the HST 2nd Servicing Mission. Though they still have the same problems we had back then (they tend to overheat occasionally in certain situations) they're still the rechargeable power cell of choice for the masses, and it's only been in the past few years that BD/DeWalt and other companies have started using them in their tools.Solid State Drives / Flash Drives - SSD's and Flash Drives are a direct result of a Hubble Telescope replacement unit called the Solid State Recorder. Replacing 2 mechanical reel-reel tape drives on HST Servicing Missions 2 and 3A, SSR technology has literally changed the way digital data is stored, eliminating the need for mechanical drives.Medical Scanning Technology - Much of the enhanced medical scanning technology you're familiar with (CRT's, MRI's, etc.) are directly related to Hubble Telescope imaging technology advancements.Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD's) - A direct result of Hubble Telescope imaging technology, CCD's are the electronic imaging core of every modern digital camera in use today, digital imaging devices used in medical and industrial applications, as well as satellite imaging.Composite Materials - There are many carbon and metal composite materials that were originally developed for NASA programs. All spacecraft are manufactured with lightweight composites, and the various materials have improved over the years. Everything from cars to planes have benefited from the technology.Infrared Technology - Everything from infrared thermometers to IR cameras owes its development to technology developed for astronomical research.There are some pics on my Supervisor bio page of the PGT and other HST systems, and the link below will direct you to the NASA Spinoff/Innovative Partnerships Program site.

What isa aenormus telescope floating in space that sends pics back to earth called in general?
Hubble space telescope and international space station!

How are telescopes used in the world?
they can look beyond our planet and into our solar system some like the hubble telescope can take pictures of universes and send pics back to earth pics= pictures
Are there other space telescopes besides the Hubble?
There are quite a few telescopes in space right now like the Hubble space telescope, Chandra X-Ray observatory, Spitzer space telescope, FERMI space telescope, the Herchel observatory, WISE telescope and the James Webb space telescope will soon be launched in 2014.
When was the second mission to refurbish the hubble telescope?
February 1997 aboard Space Shuttle Discovery, an early morning launch from KSC at around 5am that was spectacular. If you look at my Supervisor bio page you can see some pics from that mission, as I worked on several of the new and replacement HST units and Astronaut tools.
What does the hubble space telescope look at?
The main purpose was to collect pictures, as it was, and is, a very high-tech and high-quality telescope. It was constantly take billions of pictures throughout each day, and send them back to NASA.
How many space telescopes are currently in operation?
Ah, well isn't that a lovely question. Currently, there are several space telescopes bringing us joy by exploring the wonders of the universe. The exact number can vary, but rest assured that each one is a work of art in its own right, capturing the beauty of space for all to enjoy.
Why are pictures from a hubble space telescope clearer and brighter?
Because the Hubble Space Telescope was designed for periodic servicing, the items to be replaced are easily accessible. Ranging in size from a shoebox to a telephone booth, most of these items can be removed or installed using special wrenches and power tools.
What is the word for 4 pics 1 word level 239?

What is the word for level 263 on 4 pics 1 word?
space
How big a rocket would it take to launch a camera capable of photographing the moon surface in High Definition and sending those pics back to earth with nothing else on the rocket?
That's not a very demanding mission at all. The toughest part is just physically getting to the moon, although that capability is pretty well developed by now. And compared to the many probes that have been sent to rendezvous with other planets, the guidance required to meet the moon is now almost trivial. The Hubble Space Telescope has been operating in space for decades now with what amounts to a really super-duper High-Def camera, and doing a fine job sending those pics back to earth. If you want pics of the moon's far side, then you'd need a system to take pics when it's around the back, hold onto them for a while, and then transmit them to us when the vehicle comes out from behind and we can see it again. But none of this is exactly, ahh, "rocket science". If that's all you want it to do, then the payload requirement is really quite modest. Concerning control from earth, again, we've been remotely controlling the Hubble for decades, and the Mars rovers for years. I suspect that you and I are both completely out of touch, and that the moon has already been completely mapped with super high resolution.
