Hubble Space Telescope: What It Has Shown Us


this telescope has shown us more about
our universe than has ever been possible
before hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be learning more about some of the
remarkable discoveries made by the
Hubble Space Telescope the Hubble Space
Telescope has allowed us to study our
own solar system the information we have
gleaned about our planetary neighbors
helps us better understand our earth the
Hubble is responsible for answering
long-standing astronomical questions as
well as prompting new theories based on
its results Hubble has also provided us
with the most detailed images of the
universe’s farthest known galaxies one
of its most significant discoveries was
to measure the rate at which the
universe is expanding which helps to
find the age of the universe it also
gives us a glimpse at the fate of the
universe the Hubble is helping us come
closer to discovering whether life
exists or is able to exist elsewhere in
the universe the telescope has captured
storms on Neptune and dwarf planets at
the edge of our solar system the Hubble
was able to confirm the long-standing
conjecture that all galaxies feature
black holes at their centers it also
provided evidence of the presence of
planets found outside our solar system
which revolve around sun-like stars in
1994 the Hubble photograph to comment
colliding with Jupiter scientists have
estimated this occurrence only happens
once every few centuries the event
helped scientists understand Jupiter’s
atmosphere and it also shed light on the
origins of planets as it is thought they
began with the collisions matter perhaps
one of the Hubble’s most famous
photographs the pillars of creation were
captured in 1995 the pillars were
located in the Eagle Nebula a region
found 6,500 light-years away the photo
of the pillars depicts the formation of
stars incubated in clouds of gas and
dust the Hubble Deep Field image is
often deemed the most important
photograph ever taken by humanity
scientists chose a section of sky that
was devoid of Milky Way stars and
pointed the Hubble in that direction
what they found was almost 3000 galaxies
some of these galaxies were the farthest
and youngest ever found for astronomers
and laypeople alike the Hubble has shown
us just how immense the universe
actually
