The main advantage would be the absence of an atmosphere. Any telescope on earth can only "see" electromagnetic (light) waves after they have travelled through the atmosphere, losing some of their directional integrity, which distorts the image seen in earth bound telescopes. Some light waves never make it to the telescope at all.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of a famous refracting telescope?
NASA's most famous telescope is probably the Hubble Telescope that orbits the earth.
Is the moon or the Hubble space telescope closest to earth?
The Hubble Space Telescope, along with most man-made satellites, is in a low earth orbit. It remains 559 km from the earth. This is much closer than the moon, which orbits at an average distance of 384,392 km. It would be very difficult to have a man made satellite orbit further away from the earth than the moon without the moon interfering in its orbit.
Do mirrors work in outer space?
Yes, mirrors work in outer space. They reflect light just like they do on Earth. However, objects placed in front of a mirror in space may not appear as they do on Earth due to the lack of atmosphere and different lighting conditions.
Are there other space telescopes besides the Hubble?
There are quite a few telescopes in space right now like the Hubble space telescope, Chandra X-Ray observatory, Spitzer space telescope, FERMI space telescope, the Herchel observatory, WISE telescope and the James Webb space telescope will soon be launched in 2014.
If you had a telescope on a planet 3000 light years away and zoomed in on earth what would you see?
If you had a telescope on a planet 3000 light years away and zoomed in on Earth, you would see the Earth as it was 3000 years ago. Due to the time it takes for light to travel, you would not be seeing Earth in real-time, but rather how it appeared 3000 years in the past.
What advantages would a telescope in space have over a telescope on earth?
The main advantage would be the absence of an atmosphere. Any telescope on earth can only "see" electromagnetic (light) waves after they have travelled through the atmosphere, losing some of their directional integrity, which distorts the image seen in earth bound telescopes. Some light waves never make it to the telescope at all.
Why was the hubble telescope placed in space?
Otherwise it would fall towards the earth due to gravitational attraction.
What is used to see space on earth?
You can't see "space". You can see objects in space, but space itself is not visible.If you did wish to observe objects in space, a telescope would help you to do so.
It looks into space and rhymes with rope?
uh...that would be telescope or dope.
How big does the earth look from the Hubble telescope with the naked eye?
First off, your question is contradictory. You cannot look at any object with a telescope and with your naked eye at the same time. Naked eye means that you are looking at the object without any visual aid. The Hubble Telescope is never pointed at Earth. The Earth is too bright from that height and that high intensity could damage the Telescope's cameras. For pictures of the Earth from space, you can look up some images from the ISS or the Space Shuttle.
How much would it cost to build a telescope?
the hubble space telescope cost 1.5 million dollars
What is from space that would start with the letter h?

Would you be able to see Jupiter with a telescope from Earth at night?
Yes. You are able to see Jupiter with a telescope from Earth at certain points in the year.

Was the Hubble telescope discontinued?
Not yet. The Hubble Space Telescope is still in space, still operational. In fact, it received a substantial upgrade just last spring, with new gyroscopes, new sensors and a new communications array. But the main telescope cannot be upgraded without being entirely rebuilt, which cannot be done in space. The original plan was that the Hubble Space Telescope would be captured in orbit by the Space Shuttle, returned to Earth, and rebuilt. Later, it would be re-launched. But because the Space Shuttle fleet itself is scheduled to be retired in the next few years, this plan has been abandoned. The HST is tentatively scheduled to be de-orbited and crashed into the ocean in about 7 more years. With luck, there will be an even more powerful space telescope to replace it, but this is not yet firmly scheduled.
What would happen if the telescope had never been invented?
We cannot sea the space
