Hubble Space Telescope

over the years, making it one of the most powerful telescopes in the world. Hawaii is a perfect place to have an observatory because it is located on a 13,796 foot summit with very few city lights to pollute the sky around it (Keck, n.d.). Also, the atmosphere in Hawaii for the majority of the year is clear and dry offering the best look at the sky above us. According to Keck’s website, Keck Observatory consists of two optical and infrared telescopes, weighing about 300 tons each. It also has…

Abstract- The main material and focus in this lab is the compound light microscope. During this lab you will check the microscopes by drawing what you see to make sure the high and low powers work properly. After you tested your microscope you take a toothpick and scrap it on the side of you mouth and examine what you see through the microscope, your final results should be a drawing of what you saw through both the high and low powered lens. Introduction- This lab is based on the…

The goal of the first part of the experiment was to examine the focal lengths of various thick lenses, spherical aberration, and 1D magnification. First, we observe that the focal length does not seem to change when we move the lens closer and farther away from the box. Then, we find that the light rays converge after passing through the bi-convex and plano-convex lens and diverge after passing through the bi-concave lens. Therefore, the focal length of the bi-concave lens is negative. We also…

Edwin Powell Hubble was born on November 20th, 1889 in Marshfield, Missouri. He was the third child of seven kids. His dad was John P. Hubble, and his mom was Virginia Lee James Hubble. Edwin lived in Missouri until his grade school years, when his dad moved to Chicago in 1898 for his real estate business. Hubble went to Wheaton High School in Chicago, where he excelled as a student and an athlete. Hubble graduated in the class of 1906 when he was just 16 years old, two years younger than most…

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 developments of the telescope through the Hubble telescope are as followed: In 1946 the discovery began as Lyman Spitzer reported on some of the advantages of space observatories may be. In 1977, congress accepts funding for an oversized extra terrestrial telescope. Astronauts and people in the space field began their guidings for the telescope expeditions in 1978. Originally named the Large Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope was renamed after Edwin Powell Hubble who discovered…

interest about space following the last essay, I choose to read the essay, “James Webb telescope will truly do what Hubble only dreamed of” by Ethan Seigal. The essay was about the capabilities of the new James Webb telescope, that is being launched in October 2018, and paying respects to the telescope Hubble as well. The author started out by listing the accomplishments made by Hubble, which was first launched in 1990, and the numerous milestones that were reached with the telescope. For…

The Hubble Telescope Explosions ,death, and faulty equipment are only some of the problems that workers at NASA had to handle. It was a big challenge to get the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit, but there are many extraordinary discovers and boundaries that were pushed going through this journey. In 1990 a telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope, created by an astronomer named Edwin Hubble. Which allowed astronomy to grow creating more hypothesis and theories, based on information…

This is my report.The Hubble Telescope does not travel to stars, planets or galaxies. It takes pictures of them as it whirls around Earth at about 27 000 kilometers per hour. But there were five missions that went to the Hubble Space Craft. All of the missions were servicing missions where they upgraded the Hubble space craft so that it would operate for a longer time because it was making so many interesting discoveries.The Hubble Space Telescope is unmanned. A unmanned spacecraft is when no…

The Hubble telescope is a telescope named after famous astronomer Edwin Hubble. It orbits in space 380 miles above Earth’s surface, traveling 5 miles per second, finishing an orbit around Earth in 97 minutes. Hubble takes sharp images of space without looking at Earth’s atmosphere, which blurs pictures due to the atmosphere being constantly in motion. The telescope is 2.4 meters in length and has mirrors 94 inches in diameter. Some celestial objects that Hubble takes images of are stars and…
