Hubble Telescope Research Paper

The hubble space telescope Imagine yourself in a world where people don't know what's in the sky or the creation of the solar system? That would be a little scary because you don't ever know what's out there in the solar system if there's a black hole or a meteorite coming for earth. But thankfully we don't have to worry about that because have the best invention ever. The invention of the Hubble telescope has contributed to the growth of space science. Edwin Hubble was born on november 20 1889 and went to the university of chicago then he went and served at world war 1 then after the war he settled down to lead a life in the studies of astrophysics. The Hubble telescope it was launched in the 1990 it was launched into orbit around our earth the telescope was named in honor of Edwin Hubble. It's the best invention ever because it helps us see into the solar system farther than the land telescopes and gives us clear pictures of the solar system. Also it is able to get past all the clouds and gas and dust that we can't see past on a land telescope. Lastly the Hubble telescope has helped the astronomers make many great discoveries in its short life span of 26 years it has helped them learn so much about our past and maybe our possible future. …show more content…
Hubble orbits about 340 miles above Earth. It is the length of a large school bus and weighs as much as two adult elephants. Hubble travels about 5 miles per second: That is like traveling from the eastern coast of the United States to the western coast in 10 minutes. Hubble is solar-powered. Hubble takes sharp pictures of objects in the sky such as planets, stars and galaxies. Hubble has made more than one million observations. These include detailed pictures of the birth and death of stars, galaxies billions of light years away, and comet pieces crashing into Jupiter's
