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.

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.


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.


Which of the following is not an advantage the Hubble Space Telescope has over ground based telescopes?

The Hubble Space Telescope is not affected by atmospheric distortion, providing clearer images than ground-based telescopes. Ground-based telescopes have the advantage of being easier to upgrade and maintain than a space-based telescope like the Hubble.


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 is replacing Hubble space telescope?

Nothing will "replace" the Hubble Space Telescope. However, a couple of new space telescopes are already in space, and another much more powerful one, the Webb Space Telescope, is under construction and should be launched in 2014.


What telescope is replacing the Hubble telescope?

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is set to replace the Hubble Space Telescope and is scheduled to launch in 2021. The JWST will be the most powerful space telescope ever built and will study the universe in infrared wavelengths to observe objects that are difficult to see with other 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.


What is the device that takes pictures in space?

A device that takes pictures in space is called a space telescope. These telescopes are equipped with advanced imaging technologies and are placed in orbit around Earth or other celestial bodies to capture images of astronomical objects in space. Some well-known examples include the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.


Is it true that the clearest images of objects in deep space are produced by a telescope in space?

Yes, telescopes in space, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, are able to capture extremely clear images of objects in deep space. These telescopes are not affected by the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere, resulting in sharper and more detailed images compared to ground-based 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.


What has the hubble space telescope found out about space?

The Hubble spacecraft has found more anbout the stars and planets more clearly then the others saw from other telescopes.
