It takes over 1200 images of interstellar space a day. Currently, NASA has saved about 3000+ photos of the cosmos.

Why should telescopes such as Hubble produce more detailed images than Earth based telescopes?

Telescopes like Hubble produce more detailed images than Earth-based telescopes because they are positioned above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and blur images. This allows Hubble to capture sharper and clearer images of celestial objects. Additionally, Hubble's location in space enables it to observe wavelengths of light that are absorbed by Earth's atmosphere.


What is the file size of a hubble space telescope picture?

The Hubble Space Telescope, HST, has four cameras - three wide field (WF) cameras and one planetary camera (PC). Most images from HST is assembled from images from these four cameras, of which the PC is in the top right hand corner - that's why images from Hubble has a staggered appearance in that section of the image. Each camera uses a CCD that renders 800x800 pixels.


The Hubble Space Telescope obtains higher-resolution images than most ground-based telescopes because it is?

Only because it gets no atmospheric interference, which most of the ground based telescopes do.


What is the name of the telescope that was sent out in space so it could see sharper and clearer images of planets star and deep space?

The telescope sent into space to capture sharper and clearer images of planets, stars, and deep space is called the Hubble Space Telescope.


Can the hubble space telescope take pictures of mercury?

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope is capable of taking pictures of Mercury. However, since Mercury orbits close to the Sun, special considerations must be taken to avoid damaging the telescope's sensitive instruments. Additionally, images of Mercury taken by Hubble may not be as detailed as those captured by spacecraft specifically sent to study the planet.

Is there a picture of a distant star taken by hubble?

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope has taken many images of distant stars. One notable example is a picture of a star known as "Pistol Star" in the Milky Way galaxy, which is one of the most luminous stars in the known universe. These images provide valuable insights into the nature and behavior of stars located far beyond our solar system.


Do they always doctor the colors in Hubble images?

Yes, because the images are photographed in black & white.


What does difference look like?

Different galaxies have different shapes and sizes according to how many stars are in each. The best way to actually see them "up close" is by looking at images (some amazing ones are taken by the Hubble telescope).

Does the Hubble Telescope use mirrors or lenses to focus the image?

The Hubble Telescope uses both mirrors and lenses to focus on images.


Why is the hubble space telescopes considered the eye in the sky?

The atmosphere of earth tends to distort images from space. Since Hubble operates outside earths atmosphere, the images it can produce are much more clear.


Where might one view pictures taken with the Hubble Telescope?

To view pictures taken by the Hubble Telescope you can go to Hubble Site, Space Latest Views, Space Telescope, NASA, Discovery Channel and National Geographic.

Why can the hubble space telescope make images in visible light that are much better than images made by the telescopes on earth?

There is minimal atmospheric disturbance up where the Hubble orbits. Down here on Earth we have to contend with the atmosphere.


Why are images from the hubble space telescope important?

We understand earth and space more because of it.


Is the Hubble telescope better than a ground-based telescope?

yes, because it doesnt have the atmosphere in the way, the atmosphere distorts the images taken by ground based-telescopes because of the refraction of light. The hubbles telescope can provide clearer and more accurate images without this barrier in the way.


How does hubble telescope accomplish?

The Hubble Space Telescope is designed to see deep into space. So it has taken many fascinating photos of the outer reaches of the universe, or in our own galaxy. It has accomplished taking many photos for scientists to study, and for us to see.
