      i have always enjoyed docus about space but with hubble its even more interesting . i only saw this channel in my feed now and its brill and in simple language explained and i subbed for sure . just a few years ago a telescope was programmed to come back and i thought they said it was hubble . when i checked around it says hubble will stay up there till 2030 so which 1 was made to come down i cant find any info .

      Those images are old. Hubble is shut down till SpaceX can get a repair mission on the schedule and thw parts are made to replace the broken gyros and whatever else needs to be repaired. I don't think they can replace the mirror. I'm not sure if they can do a major overhaul and upgrade any computers and communications gear it has.

      ​@@drmayeda1930HST has been offline a bit, but it is not shut down, and does not need a repair mission just to keep observing. A repair mission would be nice, but right now 3 of the gyros are working again, and HST can carry on with only one gyro in a less efficient manner.

      It’s possible that the outer planets could be viewed using the Extremely Large Telescope when it’s completed, I’m not entirely sure if it’s possible or not depending on the ability of the ELT to actually point towards them. The ELT will rather unbelievably be able to gather about 250x more light than Hubble, it’s very hard to overstate how incredible this observatory will be. I highly recommend the Tom Scott video about it. To put a dedicated telescope in space for the outer planets… it’d be quite costly and eat into budgets for other projects that are probably more important right now.

    Hubble took the Deep Field Image.
    Which is for me the most amazing picture we've ever taken.
    It still (will always) leaves me in awe and lost in the musings that come with knowing this Universe that we're made out of, is indeed a great mystery, and we are it looking back at itself, it's everything.
    Hubble changed the world in a massive way.
    It's a very important and amazing sensory tool that we, humanity, have created.
    I'll always feel very grateful to Hubble and it's engineers. ❤
    That it's found new life and a new usefulness is if no surprise, it will serve us for many year to come, I'm sure.

      My friend, if you have not seen it, make sure to check out some of the JWST deep field images. You can also compare Hubble deep field to the exact same jwst deep field image.
      I know that anyone with as much stoke for the Hubble deep field image as you have, almost certainly has seen the jwst deep field images as well. However, I could not pass up the chance to guarantee you another perspective altering experience, even if it doesn’t have the same novel emotional context as when you first saw Hubble deep field.
      In the unlikely case that you haven’t come across the jwst images before, please be sure to report back here with your thoughts after you check them out

      I think that'd be a perfect place to start. Any point that ejects water to the surface might be over a black or white smoker, so they might be "hotspots" for lifeforms to congregate. So, may well get ejected from the geyser. It might not be many, as the pressures would likely filter out most organisms from the plume, but you might get some smaller lifeforms like Europan equivalents to bacteria.

    To me, HUBBLE will always be the "Father" of modern telescopes. Its images are unprecedented when you consider the images of what came before it. I understand JWST is used for different wavelengths but in comparison images, I'm honestly unimpressed with the difference to Hubble. Yes, there is more detail, but if I were to give a percentage of the images by telescopes before Hubble... I would say about a 95% definition and quality increase in Hubble images, for JWST I would say maybe a 10% increase at best....I think Hubble has spoilt us with its beautiful images through the years. Thank you Hubble!

      An interesting thought, but Mars's moons are teeny tiny little potato-shaped things, not even having the gravity to pull themselves into spheres. They're basically asteroids, and quite small ones at that. They could still be useful to future Mars colonists. I once read how to navigate on Mars's surface with a suitable calendar, an analog watch and the two moons. ;) I can't remember any of the details, but I think it may have been in one of Robert Zubrin's books; possibly either _The Case For Mars_ or _Mars Direct,_ but it could be another. I haven't read it since the 90s.

If I remember correctly, Hubble's current cameras are already pretty close to that limit. Adding more pixels won't improve the image.

      Hubble’s altitude is much higher than the ISS and it’s a lot smaller, so it doesn’t need to boost it’s orbit because it doesn’t experience much drag

    • @theboathaaa7654
      @theboathaaa7654 Рік тому +7

      Hey, I think I can help here.
      Hubble does not have, nor has it ever had, thrusters.
      An over simplified explanation is this: if there were no particles in the vacuum of space, an object in orbit could continue orbiting indefinitely, as there would be no drag. Hubble was launched into low earth orbit, so it is essentially in the very extreme “upper atmosphere”. There is no boundary between what is atmosphere vs “space”, meaning that earths atmosphere just gets less and less dense as you travel away from the surface. To be more specific, the “exosphere” is the farthest region of our atmosphere. It is where diffuse light gas molecules are so lightly gravitationally bound to earth that radiation from the sun can overcome earth gravity causing them to escape. Gases are are so diffuse that they can travel hundreds of kilometers without collisions. Hubble orbits in the lower exosphere, so all of the collisions with hydrogen and helium over time cause Hubble to slowly lose velocity. As Hubble slows, the orbit descends more and more into the atmosphere, transferring more and more energy to the atmosphere, causing Hubble to slow down faster over time. I think the current predictions say that without intervention, Hubble will slow down enough to deorbit between 2030 and 2040 without intervention.
      You may have been thinking thrusters because some of the missions to service Hubble have also been able to “boost” it. This means the shuttle used spare thrust from its gas thrusters to speed Hubble up, effectively increasing its altitude, buying it more time in orbit. I think the most recent time Hubble got a boost was 2009.
      Other than a few boosts, Hubble has been slowing down since the instant it was in orbit.
      The only active control it has is pointing.

      Wtf do you think solar panels are doing to keep Hubble in orbit, and why do you think NASA has not thought about the fact that Hubble has solar panels when looking for economical solutions to keep Hubble from deorbiting between 2030-2040? Did they just forget to turn on the switch for “Sun-make-Hubble-go-burrrrr”?

      If we had rings, we wouldn't be able to have as many satellites since debris would be in the way. Debris may also prevent us from getting to the moon and beyond. Also, meteor showers that can cause mass extinctions can be semi common @_@.
      The plus side? Beauty, the ancients assuming they weren't obliterated would be able to determine the world is round much sooner, and scientific advancements would happen faster most likely.
