Hey everyone.
I was just looking over some facts about the Hubble Telescope and I thought that I would share them with you. One of the first facts that I noticed was the fact that the Hubble Telescope cost around 1.5 billion dollars up to the launch period. This is a staggering amount of money, but necessary for the discoveries that it made. A couple other interesting details about the Hubble were that it runs on solar power from two 25 foot solar panels and that it can produce pin point accuracy. The two mirrors that form the telescope have almost a perfect curvature of their lenses. This curvature allows for the telescope to lock on a target and have minimum deviation. How do you think that the mirrors were formed to consist of almost a perfect curvature?
