A Brief Examination of the Hubble Telescope Abstract The Hubble Telescope is a piece of technology that has affected human history. This paper will offer concise description of the telescopes history, function, and contribution to society. The Hubble Telescope is due to land within the next decade, approximately. We can only imagine what scientists will discover once the telescope is back on Earth and they prepare for the next generation of telescopic, deep-space gathering. Technology has made

say that the Hubble Space Telescope is the “most powerful single optical astronomical facility ever built.” Launched in 1990 by creator Edwin Hubble the Telescope set orbit around the Earth, traveling at a speed of 5 miles per second the Hubble could cross the U.S in under 10 minutes. Its main mission was to go around the earth and take clear pictures of the universe in visible, infrared and ultraviolet light. “What is this object?” Some of you may ask. Well it is easy. The Hubble Space Telescope

The first reason why shutting down Hubble would be a calamity is that it made important contributions to the development of astronomy and the exploration of the universe in the history. Traced back to the historical period, in 1946, the astronomer Lyman Spitzer put forward a large space telescope and he thought that this type of telescope was more advantages than a ground-based telescope. In 1976, the European Space Agency joined the program and provided telescope’s solar panels in order to facilitate

Since its conception in 1958, NASA has been a pivotal organization in innovative technology and space exploration. With inventions such as the Hubble telescope, or the space shuttle, NASA has provided the world with existential research regarding space. With a renewal of popular interest in NASA, the organization would be able to continue contributing vital research in the medical, and technological fields, as well as the future exploration of space as humans know it, and the future habitation of

1. The movie “Hubble” was about a large telescope that was sent into space by NASA that somehow had a flaw. The flaw was the telescope had a bad lens ad the astronauts, had to go into space to fix in. they basically had to give it glasses so that the images that it was sending back to earth would be clearer. What I learned from the movie was two things, one I don’t think I could be an astronaut, because their job seems to be very difficult. They have to fix big thing in such a little cramped space

to more than just our sense of importance, but to our ability to study it as well. First, it is important to distinguish that the size of the universe gives us a different view of our sky than what may actually be happening in it. In 1929, Edwin Hubble established a law that implies one of the more mind-bending, Star Wars worthy concepts of astronomical study: what we see is not only far, far away, but is also long ago (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Astro/hubble.html (Links to an external

Life and Discoveries of Edwin Hubble Edwin Hubble was a pioneer astronomer who highly attributed to the study of the physical universe. He completely changed our understanding of the universe by demonstrating that our universe is larger than what was previously thought and that the universe is expanding (Brown, n.d.). These discoveries were also some of the first to support the theory behind the creation of the universe, the Big Bang (Sandage, 1989). Edwin Powell Hubble was born November 20, 1889 in

Edwin Hubble was an astronomer who was known for expanding our thoughts on and our knowledge of the Universe by proving that distant nebulae were actually entire galaxies. He was the founder of modern extragalactic astronomy. He established a classification system for galaxies that is still used today. Hubble completed the construction of a 200-inch telescope on Mt. Palomar which opened up more of the sky for astronomers to study. Many of Hubble’s original papers were published in Astrophysical

the information gathered we can help put together how and when the universe came about. Hubble telescope: Nasa and Esa (European Space Agency) designed and built the Hubble telescope. The Hubble telescope was launched in 1990 in a low Earth orbit. Over the years Hubble has provided many images that have given us a better insight into the universe. The Hubble telescope, uses a mirrored - based optical

Edwin Hubble was born on November 20, 1889 to John and Virginia Lee Hubble in Marshfield, Missouri and he was the 3rd of 8 children in his family. On Hubble’s 8th birthday he was given his first telescope that his grandfather then set up at his house. Around 1901, Hubble and his family moves to Wheaton, Illinois where Hubble then wrote a letter to his grandfather discussing life on Mars. His very pleased grandfather then sent the letter to a newspaper in Springfield, Missouri. Hubble graduated at
