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.

Chron asked:
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.

lobo from 71 asked:
you can buy time to use the hubble telescope but federal law bands the use to study the moon unless you are santioned by the military..why? maybe it is part of a cover up..like there are no landing sites to study, because it never happened?

Bonanza asked:
I’ve heard that scientists have said that the Hubble Telescope can see so far that it looks into the past. What does this mean exactly?

Noname asked: Forgive my ignorance at this.
If the hubble space telescope is seeing the early universe from billions of light years away, is our galaxy traveling at almost the speed of light away from the point where big bang occurred?
for example:
an explosion or a black hole was detected by hubble from around 14 billion light years away and our galaxy was already at this point(here). So we are seeing what is happening at 14 billion years ago at yet our galaxy must have came from that part where the explosion begins..
Sorry bout that, can’t explain further.

adil k asked:
You probably know the hubble telescope which is named after a famous scientist Edwin Hubble. I was wondering where would it go afters its mission and on wikipedia i read that its going to be deorbited probably from 2016 to 2021. But can you tell me that will it return to the earth or stay up in space like an interstellar probe?
