At very short distances, like the ones we encounter every day (i.e., watching TV or turning a bedroom light on) light appears to take no time to travel. In reality, it moves at a very definite speed: c (186,000 miles per second). Over very great distances like those found in outer space, the time lapse is noticeable. If light leaves a star ten light-years away (ten times the distance light can travel in a year), it will take ten years for light to travel the distance. Thus, when that light enters our eyes here on earth, we are actually seeing the star as it was ten years in the past. Light leaving the star at that exact moment will not arrive on earth for another ten years. So the entire sky we see at night is actually quite old. When the Hubble collects light and forms images, they are actually pictures of the past. Such photos as the Hubble Ultra Deep Field are taken of galaxies that are billions of light years away. Thus, the light seen from those galaxies is one billion years old.
What else can I help you with?
How were the astronomers able to study planet Pluto?
because of the Hubble telescope pictures.
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.
How did the hubble help pathfinder to land in mars?
Hubble has made several intresting discoveries .One of them was seeing the comet shoe maker crash into juptier in 1994.Hubble also observed mars.Some of the pictures from hubble help to fid a place for mars pathfinder to land.It seen a giant dust storms and several other weather conditions.................................
What does the Hubble space telescope take pictures of?
The Hubble Space Telescope takes pictures of various celestial objects in space, including stars, galaxies, nebulae, and planets in our own solar system. It has provided stunning images that have helped astronomers better understand the universe and phenomena like black holes, distant galaxies, and planetary atmospheres.
Why is Hubble better than telescopes?
Hubble is better than ground-based telescopes because it operates above Earth's atmosphere, which can distort and block visible light. This allows Hubble to capture clearer and sharper images of the cosmos. Additionally, its position in space provides a wider field of view and enables it to observe ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths that are not easily accessible from the ground.
What does the hubble telescope do for the earth?
the hubble tellesc ope takes pictures
Why is the Hubble Telescope able to take clear pictures?
There is little atmosphere to hinder Hubble's view.
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.
What is the purpose of a Hubble telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope it used to take pictures of distant objects in space.
What is a thing that take pictures of the earth?
the hubble telescope
What does hubble space telescope see?
Hubble space telescope sees very detailed pictures of the happenings in the cosmos like very detailed pictures of a death of a star.
Does the Hubble Telescope take pictures of Earth?
Nope. It is moving too fast around the Earth to get a clear shot. It is designed to take pictures of things far away that are not moving quickly past its field of view, so anything on the ground would be a total blur.
What is the main reason the Hubble Telescope is able to take such clear pictures?
There is little atmosphere to hinder Hubble's view
What is astronomy look like in pictures?
if you look at hubble space telescope pictures ul be amazed there surpurb
Is the Hubble telescope and all the associated pictures just another big hoax?
No. The Hubble Space Telescope is very real indeed.
Why Hubble Telescope take pictures better than telescopes in observation?
Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.
What are the pictures that the Hubble space telescope took look like?
The best of the photos from the Hubble Space Telescope are available online at www.hubblesite.org. You can download pictures suitable for printing or pictures that make excellent computer "wallpaper" for your screen. Have a good time downloading them!
