  1. The hubble-space-telescope Designed by Johannes-Scharrer-Gymnasium Germany

  2. Main information • Size • Length: 43.5 ft (13.2 m) • Weight: 24,500 lb (11,110 kg) • Maximum Diameter: 14 ft (4.2 m) • Hubble´sname: • Named after Erwin Hubble (1889—1953) • confirmed an "expanding" universe => Provided the foundation for the Big Bang theory. • Speed: • 28000 km/h • => 97 min to complete one orbit

  3. history Who had the idea to built a space telescope? • It was Lyman Spitzer (1914-1997) • In 1946 Spitzer proposed the development of a large, space-based telescope Start of the telescope • on 24th April, 1990 • Difficulties at the beginning • Pictures were blurry • because Hubble's primary mirror had a flaw called "spherical aberration” • On December2, 1993 astronautscorrectedthemistake

  4. history End ofthetelescop • It was plannedfortheyear 2010 • But maintance works was rescheduled => Now end ofthetelescopeprobably in 2014 • Successor of the Hubble space telescope : James Webb Space Telescope

  7. construction Optics the primary mirror

  8. Construction instruments For example: instruments in thehubblespacetelescope • Wide field camera 3 • Installed 2009 • Made for natural light • Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph • acts somewhat like a prism • separating light from the cosmos into • its component colors Signature of a super massive black hole in the centre of galaxy M84 Amountain of dust and gas rising in the Carina Nebula

  9. Construction For example: antennas for the communication cover Here : Data transmission

  10. Jobs For example: • Observation of cepheides

  11. Results of the telescope Forexample: • The Hubble Deep Field • image of a small region • in the constellation UrsaMajor • Picture was taken between • December 18 and December 28, 1995

  12. ResultsoftheTelescope Several colliding galaxies

  13. The resultsofthetelescope Spiral Galaxy NGC 4414
