Andrew asked: If you had access to the Hubble Space Telescope, which has an angular resolution of 0.1 arcsec. What is the size (in kilometers) of the smallest feature you could have seen on the Martian surface during the 2005 opposition, when Mars was 0.464 AU from Earth?

hydropowerman34 asked: Say I wanted to look at a star that was 200 million light years away with my naked eye. The light I’m seeing is from 200 million years ago. Now, if I look at that same star with the Hubble telescope, am I seeing the same light that I saw with my naked eye, or does the telescopic vision capture light from much earlier?
Lots of good information. Thanks.

I am writing a 10 page essay for my Engineering class and I need to write about the engineering involved in building the telescope (in particular, the lens and actual telescope). I need to use technical resources explaining how the hubble works and am having troubles finding any online.
