Hubble Telescope Research Paper

The Hubble telescope is a telescope that takes pictures of the universe and has transformed the way scientists look at our universe. The Hubble telescope circles the Earth in 97 minutes at a speed of about 5 miles per second. The telescope has taken hundreds of thousands of fascinating pictures of our universe and all the amazing parts of it.

The Hubble telescope was named after Edwin Hubble who had made some of the most important discoveries in astronomy. Hubble travels more then 150 million miles per year, and is about the size of a large school bus. Edwin Hubble came up with the basis of the 'Big Bang Theory ' and that the universe came in one burst and has been expanding ever since. The space telescope helps us see what we can 't see with a telescope on Earth, for example atmospheric distortion, shifting air pockets in the atmosphere distort the view. Hubble has shown us the basis for a new planet which is clumps of gas and dust around young stars.
When it captures the light the instruments work together or by it self to make observations, and each instrument is made to observe the universe in a different way. The Hubble is observed and watched after at Goddard Space Flight Center. Hubble takes commands and scientists speak to it through satellites. It uses two main computers, one is for taking commands and telling Hubble where to go and the other is for speaking to the instruments and receiving data. Controllers at Goddard work together to make sure Hubble is healthy and working well, they also control who is using the telescope along with what the telescope is
