The Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope is the greatest piece of equipment of its kind ever assembled by mankind. It is to space exploration what the invention of the wheel was to the progress of modern industry. This one endeavor may have done more for the development of modern astronomy than all previous efforts combined. The telescope derives its name from the famous space astronomer Edwin Hubble. The Hubble Space Telescope produces extremely vivid photos due to the fact that it sets beyond the earth's distorting field of gravity.

Conspicuous Beginnings

The funding for Hubble arrived in the 1970's yet it was not launched until 1990.

Why Is Venus Too Hot for Life, Mars Too Cold and Earth Just Right?

Why Is Venus Too Hot for Life, Mars Too Cold and Earth Just Right?

let's see why

^__^

Earth's neighboring planets, Venus and Mars, once seemed the most promising places in our solar system to find conditions suitable for life. But space probes have discovered that Venus is far too hot, with an average temperature of 460 degree Celsius (860 degree Fahrenheit) and a crushing atmospheric pressure 93 times as great as our own. And Mars is a chilly planet, with temperatures averaging -60 degree Celsius (-75 degree Fahrenheit) and a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Neither planet would be suitable for life even of a very primitive kind.

Facts about Space in Questions and answers

Welcome 

here is a facts about space by easy way in questions and answers

atmosphere is like a blanket of air. It covers the whole earth and provides the
oxygen we need to stay alive. The higher you go, the thinner the air gets. When you
reach 60 miles (96 km) there are few traces of air. This is about where the atmosphere
ends --- and space begins.

Where does space end?
It doesnit. Space is endless. It goes on way beyond the solar system and past the most
distant stars.
