Oh, what a happy little question! The Hubble Telescope orbits in the thermosphere, which is the layer of Earth's atmosphere located above the mesosphere. It's like a little friend up there, capturing the beauty of space and sharing it with all of us down here on Earth.

Why was the hubble telescope built?

The main reason that the Hubble telescope was built was to get pictures from outer space. The Hubble telescope was also built to help figure out how different planets function and if the telescope managers takes pictures of the sun or moon we can also find how natural disasters happen and how to help with the impacts on earth.


Is statosphere the thickest layer of the atmosphere?

I don't think so because what I learnt was that thermosphere was the thickest layer in the atmosphere and stratosphere we can find ozone layer. Hope this is right. Thanks :)


Where can one find free pictures of stars?

There are a number of websites where one can find free pictures of the stars. One may wish to visit the websites Hubble Site, Space Telescope, and Universe Today.


What did the hubble telescope find?

The Hubble Telescope has made many significant discoveries, including the age of the universe, the rate of its expansion, the existence of dark energy, and vast numbers of galaxies and stars. Additionally, it has captured stunning images of celestial objects like planets, nebulae, and galaxies.


What is replacing Hubble?

The Hubble Space Telescope his becoming, if not already, obsolete. The twenty-year-old telescope requires a lot of maintenance and a replacement is overdue.The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope, scheduled for launch in 2014. Webb will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy. Webb will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems, connecting the Milky Way to our own Solar System.Another space telescope has been envisioned and is anticipated to be placed in service between 2025 and 2065. The Advanced Technology Large Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) is a NASA strategic mission concept study for the next generation of UVOIR space observatory. ATLAST will have a primary mirror diameter in the 8m to 16m range that will allow scientists to perform some of the most challenging observations to answer some of man's most compelling astrophysical questions.See Sources and related links for additional information.

Will the Hubble telescope find alien life forms?

hopfully NASA will


Why do you use a hubble space telescope?

to try to find the beginning of the universe..to study the stars...


What is the giant telescope in space?

Hubble Space Telescope. You can find information about the HST via the official HST website: http://hubblesite.org/


Where can find layer of atmosphere in the ozone layer?

The question is opposite. I can find a layer of ozone in atmosphere in stratosphere.


What can you find in this layer of the atmosphere?

This layer is not specified. What is this layer?


What layer of the atmosphere do you find asteroids?

We can find asteroid in mesosphere. It is the outermost layer.


Which layer of the atmosphere has the most of the air?

The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface and contains around 75% of the total mass of the atmosphere. This layer is where most weather phenomena occur and where we find the air we breathe.


Why was the hubble space telescope sent to space?

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was launched into space to allow it to view the heavens without the distortion of images caused by looking through the atmosphere itself, the degradation of images caused by the dust in the atmosphere, and the interference caused by ambient light on the surface of the earth. All those problems can be partially overcome by a careful selection of a location for a telescope on earth, but putting the telescope in space completely eliminates all of them, except space dust.The improvement of the image quality allowed astronomers to look at small objects relatively close to Hubble, or huge objects much farther away.For example Hubble was used to study the dwarf planets in our solar system Pluto and Eris.Hubble was also used to study galaxies BILLIONS of light years away. A light year is a measure of distance. It is the distance light travels in one year. Light travels 5,860,000,000,000 miles in one year, so Hubble can see galaxy sized objects billions of times a light year away.The distance, however, is not the important part of that statement. The important part of the statement "billions of light years away" is "billions of years". Because Hubble can see so far it is, in fact, showing something NOW that happened billions of years ago. That is because the light had to travel for billions of years to reach Hubble. It is allowing astronomers and scientists to observe the universe as it was billions of years ago. This is producing a multitude of theories and scientific papers.that pretty much covered everything i said except that hubble was last luanched to get to the begginning of time, it's a big gamble for sientists...i don't even have to write more now :P


In which layer of the atmosphere can you find the earths weather?

Stratosphere


Which layer above and beneath ozone is?

Are there other space telescopes besides the Hubble?

There are quite a few telescopes in space right now like the Hubble space telescope, Chandra X-Ray observatory, Spitzer space telescope, FERMI space telescope, the Herchel observatory, WISE telescope and the James Webb space telescope will soon be launched in 2014.
