Telescopes that begin with the letter Hub?

I'm not aware of any telescopes that begin with the letter "Hub." Telescopes often have names like Hubble, which is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, or Hubbell, which may be a variation or misspelling of the Hubble Space Telescope.


What do hubble telescope and galileo's telescope have in common?

they're both reflecting telescopes


Why Hubble Telescope take pictures better than telescopes in observation?

Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.


What is the name of NASA's most famous telescopes?

NASA's most famous telescope is probably the Hubble Telescope that orbits the earth.


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

The Hubble telescope is different from land based telescopes in that being in space it does not suffer atmospheric distortion, thus clearer pictures.


What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?

The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.


How do astronomers know what lies the outer planets?

Telescopes : e.g. The Hubble Telescope .


How has the Hubble space telescope helped NASA?

Most large earth bound telescopes cannot see clear images of objects in deep space. Our. atmosphere distorts the pictures with shimmery air. The HST (Hubble Space Telescope) has the advantage because it is in space and has almost no distortion. It can see much farther than regular telescopes.


What is better Reflecting or refracting telescopes?

The most serious astronomical research, such as that done by the Hubble Space Telescope, is done with reflecting telescopes.


Why was the Hubble Telescope Founded?

The Hubble Space Telescope was developed (not "founded") because ground-based telescopes are limited because of atmospheric distortions, while a space telescope isn't affected by glare, clouds, rain, or weather.


Why did edwin powell hubble stop launching hubble telescopes?

He never launched such a telescope. It is named after him. He died in 1953, the HST was launched in 1990.


What is an Earth telescope?

An Earth-bound telescope is merely a telescope located on Earth. This term is used to distinguish all of our normal telescopes on Earth from space telescopes or orbiting telescopes. The Hubble space telescope is the most famous space telescope, but there are many dozens of telescopes orbiting Earth which look at Earth or the Sun or other objects in space. Obviously, it is easier to construct an Earth-bound telescope and they can be bigger since getting a telescope into space requires a rocket and a lot more engineering and money. Space telescopes have the advantage of being outside the atmosphere and thus no atmosphere to diminish the quality of the image. For infrared telescopes there is the advantage of being in the cold environment of space where the interference from radiations of hot objects on Earth is absent. On the other hand, space telescopes are hard to repair and you can't really be there to look through them.
