Astronomers are looking at their computers where the Hubble Space Telescope is sending what it is seeing. They say that a star may be born! Without the Hubble telescope it would be harder to learn and discover new things.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. To launch the Hubble
Telescope, It’s really expensive but it helps us out a lot.. To launch the Hubble Telescope it took about 1.5 million dollars. This paper will show why the telescope is the best invention. It is the best invention because of its S.T.E.M. background, historical background, and the summary of the engineering project.
The telescope helped us fix our suspicions of space. The Hubble Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble and was launched on April 24, 1990. The Hubble Telescope has provided astronomers spectacular images of deep space. The telescope is one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built. The telescope has also let us reach out and explore the far reaches of space and help to solve the unsolved questions about our own existence. We wanted to know what was in space and we used the telescope to know! Not only does it help us see planets, stars, galaxies, etc. but it also helps us discover them. Hubble has seen the birth and death of stars. That is how we know how they are born and how long they live. This telescope can help us know if there is a meteorite coming into earth and it gives us a warning.
In order for the telescope to work it needs science, technology, engineering, and math. Those categories are really important to the telescope. Without the Hubble telescope we probably wouldn’t be able to discover new things. A replica will be built.
With the replica that is going to be made, it will be easier to see parts ...

...ble changed other scientists’ point of view of seeing other galaxies besides the Milky Way. There is also a law that is called
The Hubble Expansion Law, which basically shows that all of the other galaxies are
moving away from us and that the redshift in light coming from distant galaxies is equal to their distance. Just like on a balloon, you draw dots on it and then you put air in it and the dots separate from each other. Edwin’s sequence is a classification system for galaxies. Galaxies are divided into three groups they are elliptical, lenticular, and spiral.
The Hubble Telescope is one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built. The Hubble Telescope made history and is still making history. As Neil Armstrong once said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Without the
Hubble telescope, we wouldn’t have discovered new things.

In the article from the official NASA website, NASA gives a list of Hubble’s accomplishments, which gives the reader a comprehensive picture of Hubble’s importance. Hubble has not only given astronomers the most detailed images of outer-space in existence, but also taug...
Every day we look into the night sky, wondering and dreaming what lies beyond our galaxy. Within our galaxy alone, there are millions upon millions of stars. This may be why it interests us to learn about all that we cannot see. Humans have known the existence of stars since they have had eyes, and see them as white glowing specks in the sky. The mystery lies beyond the white glowing specks we see but, in the things we cannot see in the night sky such as black holes.
The Hubble Telescope is the world’s first space-based optical telescope. The Hubble telescope received its name from American astronomer Dr. Edwin P. Hubble. Dr. Hubble confirmed an ever expanding universe which provided the basic foundation of the Big Bang theory. The first concept of the Hubble telescope came from Lyman Spitzer in 1946 who at that time was a professor and researcher at Yale University, Professor Spitzer believed that Earth’s atmosphere blurs and distorts light and a space orbited telescope would be able to surpass this problem. He spent nearly all of his life dedicated to making this concept into a reality. (http://hubblesite.org/the_telescope/hubble_essentials/)
When considering this topic, one might ask themselves why explore space? We explore space to compare other planets with the earth and to study the sun, to explore the universe while finding if intelligent life exists, for satellites to improve communications, weather forecasting, navigation, resource monitoring, and “to create a focal point for a new intellectual renaissance” (Ruzic).
Since the beginning of time, mankind has sought after learning about and exploring the universe. This yearning drove us to achieve such great things as the journey to the moon and the discovery of water on mars. Nowadays, several people argue as to whether or not space exploration is worth the effort. I believe that it is humanity’s instinctual nature to pursue a better understanding of ourselves, and our universe. Further understanding of our universe will lead to the discovery of new technologies and ways to secure humanity’s survivability. As such, this essay will argue that space exploration is a necessity to our kind and that NASA should be progressively more financed.
Now as we are rapidly approaching the Millenium many people are getting the blues. This seems absurd because this offers all of us a perfect chance to start again. NASA is embracing this chance to grow and expand their departments. The phrase, “Space, the final frontier,” expresses the world’s obsession with space travel, that started centuries before it even became popular 30 years ago in Gene Roddenberry’s TV series “Star Trek.” Science fiction has entertained our culture for years. Movies such as Star Wars and Planet of the Apes have helped fuel our desire to get off the planet earth, find new life forms, and conquer the stars. Science-fiction dreams of worlds beyond our solar system have taken on a more realistic aspect since astronomers discovered that the universe contains planets in surprisingly large numbers. Studying those distant planets might show how special Earth really is and tell us more about our place in the universe (NASA homepage). Finding a planet that can support human life would revolutionize our society into the Jetson’s. These ideas are soon to become our realities. NASA is currently experimenting with many methods to try to explore the outer edges of the galaxy. In order to understand NASA’s excitement about star traveling, we will first fly through current projects concerning space travel, second explore three possible technologies being experimented with for the year 2000, finally take a trip into our future and experience how star traveling will change our lives as we approach the end of the second millenium.
Human fascination with the stars is as ancient as Babylonians and has been suggested to be older than Stonehenge. From “be fruitful and multiply” to “live long and prosper,” the instinct to protect and propagate the species has manifested in religion, art, and the imaginations of countless individuals. As human understanding of space treks out of the fantastical and into the scientific, the realities of traveling through and living in space are becoming clearer. Exploring, investigating, and living in space pose an expansive series of problems. However, the solutions to the problems faced by mankind's desire to reach beyond the horizon, through the night sky, and into the stars are solutions that will help in all areas of life on Earth.
Whether it be simply constructing a fire, or solving the riddles that still puzzle us to this day. Many of the questions we still have are pertaining to space. Are we all alone in this? How did we get here? Where are we going to go?
A telescope is a device used to magnify distant objects. Telescopes can be used to look at things on earth or at objects in space. The telescopes for use on the earth are known as terrestrial telescopes and the telescopes for looking into space are known as astronomical telescopes.
A website called study.com states that, in the 1920s, Edwin Hubble used the 100-inch Hooker telescope in Southern California to study the Andromeda Galaxy. He took pictures of faint galaxies and studied them. Eventually, he was able to calculate the velocity for the galaxy and show that everything is
This telescope is the result of an international collaboration of 17 countries lead by NASA, European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency. It will help us determine the geometry of the universe and enable us to establish whether the universe will expand forever.
Ever since the beginning of time there have been stars. Not only stars in the sky, but moons, planets, and even galaxies! Astronomy is defined as the branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole. In other words it is the study of space, planets, and stars. Throughout the ages, many people have used astronomy to help them learn about the universe, our own planet, and even make predictions about life itself. Understanding astronomy means understanding where it originated, the different groups/cultures that used it, and modern purposes of the science of the stars.
Some may think exploring outer space is simply a human’s curiosity. This is true but on the contrary, people explore to learn about things they may have never known and touch on the essence of the creation of the universe. Another reason for exploring this uncharted area is the technological advancements people have made and immense amount of innovation they have achieved in this field (Wood). Lastly, scientists study the other planets just in case one day humans need to relocate after overwhelming damage has been done to Earth. Suffice to say, it is a vital part of today’s day and age to research outer space (Rothery).
Astronomy is derived from infancy of human culture--- ancient age. People pay more attention to observe sun, moon and star by positioning their location and making calendar in order to indicate direction, ensure time and season. In some point of view, astronomy is one of the most old subjects in Neurology. Sun, as one of the most vital origins that providing light and ultraviolet rays, is actually an very huge galaxy, its cycle was found by a amateur astronomer, Henry Schwab. In 2010, America SDO detector has foretasted the influence the movement of Sun to Earth. Moon is a solid satellite encircled Earth. The one is the closest celestial body and have a profound relationship with Earth, its age has already been 4.6 billion years.
