Our earth is home to immense biological wealth. It is the third planet in the solar family. The solar family is an integral part of the Milky Way. And how many planets are there in this infinite universe? How many Milky Ways are there? Where are new stars born? What about black holes? What is the actual extent of the universe? How old is it? The 'Hubble Space Telescope' is the astronomical magnifying glass sent into space to find out all such things. Friends, let's know what Hubble says about the universe!

This telescope is named after space explorer Edwin Hubble. In 1990, the American space agency (NASA) entered low-Earth orbit. Hubble has sent high-quality images of the universe's galaxies, star formation, nebulae,, black holes, planetary formation, dust in space, and ultraviolet metallic rays. They are useful for many researches. Hubble has been used to probe everything from the weather on planets in our solar system to the birth of planets around other stars.

What is in the hubble ?

Along with the six instruments on Hubble Equipped with guidance sensors. Quality Telescope mirrors that take pictures are manufactured by the Perkin Almer company.

• WFC3-Wide Field Camera 3
• COS - Cosmic Origins Spectrograph 
• ACS - Advanced Camera for Surveys (repaired during SM4)
• STIS - Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (repaired during SM4)
• NICMOS - Near Infrared Camera and Multi object Spectrometer. (not currently operational)
• FGS - Fine Guidance Sensors

When Hubble was launched, no miraculous results came. Problems with the telescope's mirrors made the images blurry. It had to be repaired. Scientists have gone into space six times for this. Changed mirrors for the first time. Hubble then sent the best quality images to NASA. Hubble's lifespan was further extended with repairs in 2009.


Theories.. Solutions..

Many problems were answered after Hubble was launched. Some new theories and questions were born. Hubble was able to discover the distance between some galaxies in the universe and the star zones far away from Earth. Before Hubble, the Virgo cluster was thought to be 1000-2000 years old but estimated 1370 years. In 1994, Comet Schumacher-Levy-9 captured images of the impact marks on Jupiter. You can also find out what the Hubble telescope is seeing right now as it orbits the Earth. how are you Just look at NASA and Hubble websites. There you can see images sent by Hubble.

Indefatigable Hubble

• Hubble has detected 13 lakh objects since 1990.

• Astronomers have submitted 14,000 scientific papers with information sent by Hubble. It is sensational to submit so many papers with information.

• Hubble telescope will not go close to stars, galaxies, planets. It orbits the Earth at a speed of 17,000 thousand miles per hour and sends pictures.

• Hubble observes space objects at a speed of 0.005 arc seconds. Hubble was able to see objects as far as 1340 light years from Earth.

• Hubble has more than 140 terabytes of scientific data. By using this information for research, an additional 10 terabytes of information is being added per year.
