Hubbel Telescope- An Overview

What is Hubbel Telescope

Imagine you have a really powerful camera that can take pictures of things very far away in space. That's what the Hubble Space Telescope is, but it's much, much better than any camera we have on Earth.

Now, the Hubble Space Telescope is not like the telescopes you might have seen on the ground. It's not in a building, and it's not affected by Earth's atmosphere, which can make things look blurry when we try to see them from the ground. Instead, the Hubble Telescope is way up in space, orbiting around our planet.

Because it's above Earth's atmosphere, the Hubble Telescope can take incredibly clear pictures of stars, galaxies, and other objects in space. It has taught us a lot about the universe. Scientists use it to study far-off galaxies, learn about the birth and death of stars, and even figure out how old the universe is!

So, in short, the Hubble Space Telescope is like a super-powered space camera that helps scientists explore and understand the vast and beautiful universe beyond our planet.

How does Hubble Telescope work?

Sure! Imagine the Hubble Space Telescope is like a super special camera in space. It's not on Earth; it's way up high, orbiting our planet. Because it's in space, it can take really clear pictures of stars, galaxies, and other cool space stuff without any clouds or air getting in the way.

Hubble has a big, round mirror that acts like a giant eye. This mirror collects the light from stars and galaxies, and special instruments inside Hubble turn that light into pictures that scientists can study. These pictures help scientists learn about faraway planets, stars, and galaxies, teaching us amazing things about space!

So, in summary, light is captured, converted into electrical signals, translated into digital data, processed by a computer, and finally displayed as a picture that we can see and appreciate.
