The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a reflecting telescope. Specifically, it is a large, space-based observatory that uses mirrors to gather and focus light from distant objects in space. Reflecting telescopes like Hubble use curved mirrors to capture and reflect light to form images, unlike refracting telescopes that use lenses. Hubble's primary mirror is 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) in diameter and is used to collect light from celestial objects, allowing astronomers to study the universe in visible, ultraviolet, and near-infrared wavelengths.
