Advanced space telescopes have many purposes. For example, to study the origin and early formation of the universe.
In addition, space telescopes are also used to search for planets outside the solar system. In fact, to find planets that have life.
Sophisticated telescopes are also used by astronomers to find black holes in outer space. This can provide insight into how black holes form and affect the structure of the cosmos.
And what is no less important is to help identify dangerous celestial bodies, such as asteroids or comets that might threaten Earth. So, here are the most advanced telescopes in the world:
1. The Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is an optical telescope launched into space in 1990 by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
This telescope is known for its ability to produce very beautiful and detailed images of outer space. HST has a main mirror diameter of 2.4 meters and is located in Earth orbit at an altitude of about 550 kilometers above sea level.
The advantage of HST is that it can avoid the scattering of light from the Earth’s atmosphere which can reduce the quality of the images produced by ground telescopes.
