Hubble Space Telescope

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 shuttle Atlantis's mission to the Hubble Space Telescope in 2009 was to install new instruments, repair and upgrade existing components, and extend the telescope's operational life. This service mission aimed to enhance Hubble's scientific capabilities and ensure its continued success in observing the universe.

You don't even need a telescope to see it.

It will have you put in your location, and then it'll tell you when the HST will be visible as a
"moving star" from your location, within a couple of hours after sunset or before sunrise.
It'll also tell you what direction to look, how high in the sky, how long the pass will last,
and how bright the HST will appear. Plus, the site will give you the same information for
the International Space Station, and the Shuttle when there's a mission in progress.

The last service should allow the Hubble to function until 2014, when its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope is due to be launched.

However, current space operations have far outlived some of their expectations, so the Hubble could stay in service a lot longer.

Outside the atmosphere the telescope has no interference, precisely by the atmosphere. The telescope can get a clearer picture, and see certain wavelengengths that don't reach Earth.

Since the Shuttle fleet has been retired, there's no longer any way (unless another one is developed) to service HST. Its last Servicing Mission was designed to keep it flying until at least 2015, but it's a safe bet they'll keep it flying as long as the gyros and the Fine Guidance Sensor are still operational. Once it's no longer operational, plans are to bring it down over the ocean in a controlled re-entry.

Hopefully the James Webb Space Telescope, HST's successor, will be ready for launch in 2015, but there's already been talk by the current administration of scrapping the budget, which would not only cost millions of dollars and man-hours wasted, but eliminate thousands of jobs as well.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched from the space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. The mission was designated STS-31.

The Hubble Space Telescope provides valuable insights into the universe by capturing high-resolution images of celestial objects like planets, stars, and galaxies. It helps astronomers study the origins of the universe, track the movement of celestial bodies, and explore the evolution of galaxies. Additionally, Hubble facilitates the discovery and observation of astronomical phenomena, deepening our understanding of the cosmos.

There you can input your location, and the site tells you when the Hubble will sail over your
location, as well as the International Space Station and any other orbiting space things as they
get launched.

The Hubble Space Telescope has an orbital velocity of 7,500 m/s (meters a second) or nearly 17,000 mph.

Most satellites, including the Hubble, use solar panels for electrical power. These are functionally the same as the solar photo-voltaic panels now becoming more widely used here on Earth to generate electrical power from the Sun.

For deep space probes out to Jupiter and beyond, sunlight is too weak to provide much power. These probes use nuclear radio-isotope power generators. The problem with these is that as the radioisotopes decay, they slowly lose power. At some point within the next couple of years, the Voyager probes launched back in 1976 will have insufficient power to keep its radio transmitters active, and they will fall silent forever.

The first thing that was photographed and looked at by the Hubble Space Telescope was i believe the outer edge of the Milky Way.

The telescope was invented in 1608 by Dutch eyeglass maker Hans Lippershey.

The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.

Edwin Hubble did not build the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope was constructed by NASA and was launched into space in 1990. It was named after Edwin Hubble, who was a prominent astronomer known for his contributions to the field of cosmology.

Edward Hubble lived for 63 years, from 1889 to 1953.

Just a guess but maybe the exosphere!!

But also it could be the Thermosphere, which is the Ionosphere and Exosphere combined.

The Hubble Telescope is outside Earth's atmosphere altogether. It orbits in outer space, specifically in low Earth orbit, about 547 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This allows it to capture clear images of space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere.

Building a Hubble telescope out of cardboard would be quite challenging due to its complex structure and delicate design. It would require a detailed plan, precision cutting, and intricate assembly. Alternatively, a simpler version could be created by painting a cardboard tube to resemble a telescope and adding decorative elements to mimic Hubble's appearance.

The space shuttle Discovery launched the Hubble Telescope into space.

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.

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space-based observatory that helps astronomers study the universe. It orbits Earth at an altitude of about 340 miles (540 kilometers) above the surface. Hubble has been used to make groundbreaking discoveries in areas such as cosmology, galactic structure, and stellar evolution.
