What is a hubble telescope? How does it help us?

Question

I am doing a research on the hubble telescope. I need to know why it is important ahd how it help us.

Answer 1

HST or Huble Space Telescope is a telescope orbiting the earth at this very moment. It is about the size of a school bus and takes pictures at extreme distances. It has helped scientist get better pictures of many objects and give them a better understanding of the universe. You can go to hubblesite.org and see some amazing pictures from hubble. You can also print any picture in the gallery. They are incredible, when you see them you will know how important it is. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

It is a large orbiting telescope. It is not as large as the largest telescopes on the ground, but because it is above the atmosphere, it avoids the blurring effects of the atmosphere, which is also what makes the stars twinkle. Telescopes on the ground almost never show detail as small as they are capable of showing, because the atmosphere blurs the image before it ever gets to the telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) can always see clearly to the theoretical limit of a telescope its size.

Answer 3

The Hubble telescope takes pictures of events that happened hundreds of thousands of years ago like super novas, white dwarf stars and other galaxies and planets. It's like a warning beckon as well to watch out for meteorites that might be traveling in earth's path. It's a fabulous look into the past to see how the universe evolved.

Answer 4

Hubble can gather an amazing amount of data for scientists. Just by using the spectrograph's data, we can determine a great deal about objects in space. For example, scientists can learn the chemical composition and abundances, temperature, radial velocity, rotational velocity, and magnetic fields.
