Presentation transcript:

 Hubble telescope is a powerful orbiting telescope that gives great images from space.  It is about the size of a large tractor-trailer truck.  Hubble whirls around Earth at 5 miles per second.  Hubble finishes 1 orbit around the Earth every 97 minutes.  Hubble travels more than 150 million miles (241 million km) per year.

 The telescope is named after American astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble, who made big donations to astronomy in the 1920's.  The space shuttle Discovery launched the Hubble telescope into orbit in  More than 6,000 scientific articles have been published based on information taken by Hubble.

 1. Did Hubble find a new solar system? ▪ Yes, Hubble has found other planets in other solar system that has Sodium, Hydrogen, Carbon and Oxygen. 2. How is the Hubble telescope different from land telescopes? ▪ Hubble can take pictures from the atmosphere with better view. Land telescopes cannot see through earth’s thick and polluted atmosphere. 3. Does the Hubble telescope work everywhere? ▪ No, it doesn’t work near the sun because the strong light and heat would fry its sensitive instruments. So, it is always pointed away from the sun.

1. Hubble has helped astronomers calculate the age of the universe to be 13 – 14 billion years old. 2. Hubble has captured pictures that helped astronomers figure out what the early universe looked like. 3. Hubble has helped astronomers to sample other planets to see if they are habitable or not. 4. Hubble explained that the ‘black scars’ on Jupiter was from large chunks of a comet hitting Jupiter. 5. Hubble has helped NASA find black holes that are billion times heavier than the sun.

I hope you learned a lot about the Hubble Telescope.
