Jeep asked:


When you look into the sky, you don’t see galaxy next to galaxy. You see star next to star.

Even if you had a telescope, you would *still* see star next to star. So how is it possible, that this Hubble telescope sees galaxy next to galaxy?

Bit confusing…

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.
