Hubble Space Telescope

Since the earliest days of astronomy, since the time of Galileo, astronomers have shared a single goal. To see more, see farther, see deeper.The Hubble Space Telescope's launch in 1990 sped humanity to one of its greatest advances in that journey. Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth. Its position above the atmosphere, which distorts and blocks the light that reaches our planet, gives it a view of the universe that typically far surpasses that of ground-based telescopes.Hubble is one of NASA's most successful and long-lasting science missions. It has beamed hundreds of thousands of images back to Earth, shedding light on many of the great mysteries of astronomy. Its gaze has helped determine the age of the universe, the identity of quasars, and the existence of dark energy. Hubble's discoveries have transformed the way scientists look at the universe. Its ability to show the universe in unprecedented detail has turned astronomical conjectures into concrete certainties. It has winnowed down the collection of theories about the universe even as it sparked new ones, clarifying the path for future astronomers.…

Works of art such as paintings, books, and even music continue to inspire countless amounts of people, but the art that speaks to me most are the images taken of the universe surrounding us. The Hubble Space Telescope’s Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) images are the quintessential example of what drives me to achieve greatness in life. Not only have they shaped me to be the person I am today, but they’ve given me a better understanding of the honors program at NAU and my education as a whole. For…

The Hubble Space Telescope has been working hard for many years to capture images of the farthest reaches of our universe. These machine show us the farthest we've ever been able to see into the deepest recesses of the universe. It reveals thousands of galaxies that are billions of light-years away. As time marches on, scientists will continue to learn more and more about our using universe advanced scientific technology to create tools to explore the depths of space. For example, thanks to the…

understanding of the universe and it’s beginning. Over centuries the dedication and commitment to research in technology has had a major impact on discovering and understanding the universe. Such technologies include Hubble Space Telescope, COBE and the Planck satellite. Astronomers and Scientists currently estimate that the Big Bang occurred just under 14 billion years ago.Without the invention of telescopes our understanding of the universe and space would be based on beliefs and myths from…

Hubble Space Telescope Kush Patel 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…

In the old days, many believe that we are the only living things on our galaxy or even in the whole universe. No one even bothers to look beyond our planet and explore the space for that matter. Though in Ancient Egypt, Babylonians use to study the Sun, Moon and stars just to generate a calendar for farming and religious rites but it never extended that far. Then in early 1900's people started to explore space and study matters beyond our planet. Edwin Hubble was the first person who introduced…

The Pillars of Creation The movement on the screen of my monitor was steady as a small telescope crept through the atmosphere. It made its way past the constellation of Sagittarius, the archer. I was assigned to watching the Hubble Space Telescope in its mission to capture photos of the Eagle Nebula, and it felt like a lifetime for the telescope to finally reach it. Every few seconds it would send photographs so I could analyze its journey. A bittersweet aroma filled my nose as I realized I…

Space is a huge sea of unknown. We are simply specks of dust, trying to figure out the behaviors of giants. Thus it is apparent that the specks can not know much. For now. One of the biggest mysteries is the expansion of the universe; in the 1990s, we knew that theoretically, our ever-expanding universe was slowing down due to gravity, and that it would eventually collapse or keep expanding, just slower as time went on. However, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that to be dead…

As a student, he earned a total of seven degrees. NASA selected him to be one of the first astronaut-scientists and he began serving as a trauma surgeon at Denver General Hospital and did so for thirty years. After training as a parachutist and pilot, he earned his Air Force Wings and several FAA ratings including flight instructor. He has flown well over 160 different types of aircraft and has made more than 800 free falls, 100 of which were experimental falls used to study human aerodynamics.…

What is one weakness you have? I do not have much experience with airplanes but I work hard and I can learn fast. I can take information from other workers and find anyway to help. What is one thing you do well? I can speak well in front of people and I can handle stressful situations Why Are You Looking for a Job? - I have been interested in space/flight all my life and the best way to follow my dreams is to work with flight. Here I hope to take knowledge and carry it with me. I want to know…
