What object floats above earth to take pictures of planets and stars?

The object that floats above Earth to take pictures of planets and stars is a space telescope. Examples include the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits the Earth, and the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be positioned at a Lagrange point in space. These telescopes are designed to capture high-quality images and data from space.


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.


What can the the hubble space telescope do?

The Hubble Space Telescope can capture high-resolution images of celestial objects, make precise measurements of astronomical phenomena, study the atmospheres of planets, and help determine the age and expansion rate of the universe through observations of distant galaxies and supernovae.


Are scientists able to take a picture of your galaxy?

Yes, scientists can look at space and take pictures of it.. the first time this happened was in the mid 1960's when the voyager was launched. It sent back picture's of space to Earth.. almost half a century later it has final reached the edges of our milky way and take pictures of beyond.
