Because the earths atmosphere tends to block and stir up some of the light from stars and so by having a telescope not in the atmosphere no light is blocked and there are no air currents or density differences so you can see more than a telescope on the ground.
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.
Hubble space telescope and international space station!
The Hubble Space Telescope was named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who played a crucial role in changing our understanding of the universe by demonstrating that galaxies are moving away from each other.
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope was built to observe objects in space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere. By being located above Earth's atmosphere, the Hubble Telescope can capture clearer and more detailed images of celestial objects.
The asteroid 107P was named "Hubble" after the Hubble Space Telescope. This was done to honor the contributions of the telescope to astronomy and space exploration.
No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.
The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth about 350 miles up.
No, the Hubble Space Telescope is not bigger than the Earth. The Earth has a much larger diameter (approximately 12,742 kilometers) compared to the Hubble Space Telescope, which is about 13.2 meters long and 4.2 meters wide.
The space telescope that was carried into Earth orbit by a space shuttle in 1990.
NASA's most famous telescope is probably the Hubble Telescope that orbits the earth.
In outer space; in orbit around Earth.
Hubble space telescope and international space station!
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 into space to take pictures the Earth and to relay them back to its ground crew. See the official Hubble Space Telescope website: http://hubblesite.org/ ~ Hexedgirl92
The Hubble space telescope is in near Earth orbit at a orbital height of 559 km (347 miles)
The Hubble Telescope is a space telescope which is approximately 559 kilometers away from the surface of the earth in a "low earth orbit" which indicates that it is orbiting under 200 kilometers.
