Hour: 1 The Hubble Space Telescope started to be built in 1977 and was launched in April 24, 1990 in space by ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). It was used to gather light from cosmic objects, so scientists can better understand the universe around us. It was also a basic reflector with a 94.5 inch mirror that give astronomers a clear view of the universe in visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light.
The Hubble Space Telescope works by flying around, or obits, high above earth and its atmosphere at 5 miles per second, weighs as much as two adults elephants and long as a large school buses. Every 97 minutes, Hubble completes a spin around Earth. It takes …show more content…
Then the light is focused on a small area called the focal point. The mirrors are precisely shaped, made of ultra-low expansion glass and kept at a nearly constant room temperature.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflecting telescope because it is a mirror and not a lens. Another reason is because the secondary mirror reflects into the primary, wtch makes it a reflector. In the hubble space telescope is manipulated by having three different filters red, green, and blue, but first it takes a picture in black and white. The advantages of the Hubble Space Telescope is that it has accuracy, usability, and field of vision. The hubble is different from other telescope is that its ability is to observe near-infrared and ultraviolet light.
The Hubble Space Telescope discovered/captured images that revealed bright and dark regions on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It also discovered how old are universe's (13.8 billion years old). If the hubble space telescope then it wouldn't have gotten the big areas such has like stars, galaxies, and our
