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.
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.
Only because it gets no atmospheric interference, which most of the ground based telescopes do.
The telescope sent into space to capture sharper and clearer images of planets, stars, and deep space is called the Hubble Space Telescope.
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.
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.
Yes, because the images are photographed in black & white.
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).

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

There is minimal atmospheric disturbance up where the Hubble orbits. Down here on Earth we have to contend with the atmosphere.
We understand earth and space more because of it.
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.
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.
