Before the Hubble Space Telescope was
launched, scientists thought they knew the universe. They were wrong.
The Hubble Space Telescope has
changed many scientists’ view of the universe. The telescope is named after
American astronomer Edwin Hubble, 1 _______________________.
He established that many galaxies
exist and developed the first system for their classifications.
In many ways, Hubble is like any
other telescope. It simply gathers light. It is roughly the size of a large
school bus. What makes Hubble special is not what it is, 2 _______________________.
Hubble was launched in 1990 from the
“Discovery” space shuttle and it is about
It is far from the glare of city
lights, it doesn’t have to look through the air, 4 _______________________.
And what a view it is! Hubble is so
powerful it could spot a fly on the moon.
Yet in an average orbit, it uses the
same amount of energy as 28 100-watt light bulbs. Hubble pictures require no
film. The telescope takes digital images 5 _______________________.
Hubble has snapped photos of storms
on Saturn and exploding stars. Hubble doesn’t just focus on our solar system.
It also peers into our galaxy and beyond. Many Hubble photos show the stars
that make up the Milky Way galaxy. A galaxy is a city of stars.
Hubble cannot take pictures of the
sun or other very bright objects, because doing so could “fry” the telescope’s
instruments, but it can detect infrared and ultra violet light 6 _______________________.
Some of the sights of our solar system
that Hubble has glimpsed may even change the number of planets in it.
A. which is above Earth’s atmosphere.
B. which are transmitted to scientists on Earth.
C. which is invisible to the human eye.
D. who calculated the speed at which galaxies
move.
E. so it has a clear view of space.
