The Hubble Space Telescope is a telescope carried into low Earth orbit in 1990 that allows astronomers to peer deeper into space. Light enters Hubble and bounces off mirrors to focus on instruments clustered behind the focal plane, giving it very sharp vision. Hubble orbits Earth every 97 minutes at an altitude of about 600 km, between the latitudes of Florida and Australia. While Hubble will eventually retire, its successor the James Webb Space Telescope promises even more amazing discoveries when it launches in 2018, with ten times Hubble's light-gathering power to see back to the early formation of galaxies.

Edwin hubble powerpoint 2
Edwin Hubble was born in 1889 in Missouri and studied at the University of Chicago, earning a Rhodes scholarship to study at Oxford. Though he initially practiced law, Hubble returned to his passion for astronomy in 1914. At the Mount Wilson Observatory, Hubble discovered evidence of other galaxies existing outside the Milky Way in 1923, contradicting the prevailing view. This landmark discovery established that the universe is much larger than previously believed.
Telescope
A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses or mirrors to gather light and provide higher magnification and resolution than the naked eye. It allows astronomers to observe distant objects in space like planets, stars, and galaxies. There are two main types - reflecting telescopes which use curved mirrors, and refracting telescopes which use lenses. The first person to point a telescope skyward was Galileo Galilei in 1609, allowing him to observe details on the moon. Telescopes have helped astronomers determine properties of the universe like its age.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carri.pdf
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space
Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation.[7] A 2.4-meter (7.9 ft) aperture telescope in low Earth
orbit, Hubble\'s four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near
infraredspectra. The telescope is named after the astronomerEdwin Hubble.
Hubble\'s orbit outside the distortion of Earth\'s atmosphere allows it to take extremely high-
resolution images with almost no background light. Hubble\'s Deep Field has recorded some of
the most detailed visible-light images ever, allowing a deep view into space and time. Many
Hubble observations have led to breakthroughs in astrophysics, such as accurately determining
the rate of expansion of the universe.
Although not the first space telescope, Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well
known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The HST was built
by the United States space agency NASA, with contributions from the European Space Agency,
and is operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute. The HST is one of NASA\'s Great
Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray
Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.[8]
Space telescopes were proposed as early as 1923.[9] Hubble was funded in the 1970s, with a
proposed launch in 1983, but the project was beset by technical delays, budget problems, and the
Challenger disaster. When finally launched in 1990, Hubble\'s main mirror was found to have
been ground incorrectly, compromising the telescope\'s capabilities. The optics were corrected to
their intended quality by a servicing mission in 1993.
Hubble is the only telescope designed to be serviced in space by astronauts. Between 1993 and
2002, four Space Shuttle missions repaired, upgraded, and replaced systems on the telescope; a
fifth mission was canceled on safety grounds following the Columbia disaster. However, after
spirited public discussion, NASA administrator Mike Griffin approved one final servicing
mission, completed in 2009. The telescope is now expected to function until at least 2014, and
possibly 2020.[10] Its scientific successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), is
currently scheduled to be launched in 2018.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space
Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation.[7] A 2.4-meter (7.9 ft) aperture telescope in low Earth
orbit, Hubble\'s four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near
infraredspectra. The telescope is named after the astronomerEdwin Hubble.
Hubble\'s orbit outside the distortion of Earth\'s atmosphere allows it to take extremely high-
resolution images with almost no background light. Hubble\'s Deep Field has recorded some of
the most detailed visible-light images ever, allowing a deep view into space and time. Many
Hubble observations have led to breakthroughs.

Essay About Edwin Hubble Biography
Edwin Hubble was a pioneering American astronomer who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Through his work at the Mount Wilson Observatory with the 100-inch Hooker telescope, he discovered that galaxies exist outside the Milky Way and that the universe is expanding. He created a classification system for galaxies that is still used today. Hubble's discoveries established the foundations of modern cosmology and earned him worldwide scientific honors for his astronomical achievements.

The James Webb Space Telescope is a large space-based infrared telescope that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope. Named after former NASA administrator James E. Webb, the JWST has a 6.5 meter primary mirror, larger than Hubble's, that will enable it to observe more distant, older galaxies than Hubble. The JWST is designed to operate in an orbit around the second Lagrange point of the Earth-Sun system to maintain its extremely cold 50 Kelvin operating temperature for infrared observations. It is scheduled to launch in 2021 and have a minimum operational lifetime of 5 years.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope which conducts infrared astronomy. As the largest optical telescope in space, its high resolution and sensitivity allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope.[8] This will enable investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars, the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.[9][10].The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) led JWST's design and development and partnered with two main agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Maryland managed telescope development, the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore on the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University operates JWST, and the prime contractor was Northrop Grumman. The telescope is named after James E. Webb, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.
The James Webb Space Telescope was launched on 25 December 2021 on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana, and arrived at the Sun–Earth L2 Lagrange point in January 2022. The first JWST image was released to the public via a press conference on 11 July 2022.[11]
JWST's primary mirror consists of 18 hexagonal mirror segments made of gold-plated beryllium, which combined create a 6.5-meter-diameter (21 ft) mirror, compared with Hubble's 2.4 m (7 ft 10 in). This gives JWST a light-collecting area of about 25 square meters, about six times that of Hubble. Unlike Hubble, which observes in the near ultraviolet and visible (0.1 to 0.8 μm), and near infrared (0.8–2.5 μm)[12] spectra, JWST observes in a lower frequency range, from long-wavelength visible light (red) through mid-infrared (0.6–28.3 μm). The telescope must be kept extremely cold, below 50 K (−223 °C; −370 °F), such that the infrared light emitted by the telescope itself does not interfere with the collected light. It is deployed in a solar orbit near the Sun–Earth L2 Lagrange point, about 1.5 million kilometers (930,000 mi) from Earth, where its five-layer sunshield protects it from warming by the Sun, Earth, and Moon.Initial designs for the telescope, then named the Next Generation Space Telescope, began in 1996. Two concept studies were commissioned in 1999, for a potential launch in 2007 and a US$1 billion budget. The program was plagued with enormous cost overruns and delays; a major redesign in 2005 led to the current approach, with construction completed in 2016 at a total cost of US$10 billion. The high-stakes nature of the launch and the telescope's complexity were remarked upon by the media, scientists, and engineers.

Basic introduction to cosmology class 12
The document provides an overview of key concepts in astronomy and cosmology. It discusses that astronomy is an observational rather than experimental science and defines the universe as all of space, time, matter and energy. It explains that there is no center to the expanding universe according to the Big Bang theory and Hubble's law, which showed that galaxies further away are receding faster. Dark matter is hypothesized to make up around 22% of the universe's mass based on its gravitational effects.

Telescopes have helped answer fundamental questions about the universe and our place in it. They showed that the Sun, not Earth, is at the center of our solar system, revealed that stars are other suns located incredibly far away, and discovered the existence of billions of other galaxies in an expanding universe that began billions of years ago. Telescopes also found evidence of other planets outside our solar system and helped determine that our solar system is located about halfway out from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Continued observations with advanced telescopes are helping scientists learn more while also raising new questions about the nature of space, galaxies, black holes and the potential for life elsewhere.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 2. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST; also known colloquially as “the Hubble” or just “Hubble”) is a telescope that was carried into Earth orbit by the Space Shuttle in April 1990. It is named for the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although Hubble was not the first space telescope, it is one of the largest and most versatile, and well known as a vital research tool. The HST is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency.
- 3. Hubble works on the same principle as the first reflecting telescope built in the 1600s by Isaac Newton. Light enters the telescope and strikes a concave primary mirror, which acts like a lens to focus the light. Then, this reflected light goes to a smaller secondary mirror right in front. The mirror reflects the light back through a hole in the primary to instruments clustered5 behind the focal plane6 (where the image is in focus). Hubble’s angular resolution is 0.05 arc second. This is the “sharpness”7 of Hubble’s vision. If you could see as well as Hubble, you could stand in New York City and distinguish two fireflies8, 1 m apart, in San Francisco.
- 4. Hubble is not that far away – only about 600 km above Earth Its nearly circular orbit takes it once around the planet every 97 minutes. The orbit is inclined (tilted) to the equator at an angle of 28.5º, which means that it never travels farther north than 28.5º N (the latitude of Cape Canaveral, Florida), or farther south than 28.5º S (the approximate latitude of Brisbane, Australia).
- 5. Hubble’s important mission will come to an end one day in the future. But the telescope’s ultimate retirement9 will not signal the end of our unrivaled view of the universe. Rather, it will mark a new beginning – and even more amazing10 discoveries and images from space. For Hubble has a successor: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which is being designed and may be launched as early as 2018. When that day comes, scientists using JWST hope to discover and understand even more about our fascinating universe. With ten times the light-gathering11 power of Hubble, JWST will peer12 deeper into the universe than ever before – back to the era when galaxies first formed.
