- Question 4:
- If you could use the Hubble Space Telescope to
look at one object in the sky, what would you choose and why?
- Answer:
-
Your answers will depend on which celestial object
is your favorite. The object may be inside or outside the solar
system. Note that Hubble cannot look at Earth, the Sun, or
Mercury because they are too bright and would damage the telescope’s
instruments. Venus and Earth’s Moon are also close and
bright, making them difficult (but not impossible) targets
for Hubble to capture.
