哈勃太空望远镜  
Hubble Space Telescope  

西内SINE

1990年从航天飞机上发射的哈勃太空望远镜,在距离地球表面610公里(380英里)的轨道上运行。在地球大气层之外,它收集的图像失真更小,而且比在地球上的望远镜清晰十倍。它还能看到比它暗50倍的物体。它正在寻找其它恒星的行星,通过观察其它星系来计算宇宙的年龄和大小。图像以无线电波的形式传送给我们。
Hubble Space Telescope, launched from the space shuttle in 1990, orbits earth 610 kilometers, or 380 miles above earth’s surface. Outside earth’s atmosphere, the images it collects are less distorted and ten times more sharp than earth-bound telescopes. It can see objects fifty times more faint, also. It is searching for planets of other stars, looking into other galaxies to calculate the age and size of the universe. Images come to us as radio waves.

它是以加利福尼亚州威尔逊山天文台一位美国天文学家的名字命名的。哈勃发现,除了银河系,宇宙中还有其它星系。他发现在我们星系之外,还有与银河系相同种类的恒星。在仙女座星系。他还看到其它星系正在远离我们,并得出了宇宙正在膨胀的结论,更远的星系比更近的星系远离我们的速度更快。我做了一个链接。
It is named after an American astronomer at Mount Wilson Observatory in California. Hubble found the universe contains other galaxies besides the Milky Way. He found stars of the same kind as in the Milky Way but outside our galaxy. In the Andromeda galaxy. He also saw other galaxies moving away from us, and concluded that the universe is expanding, with galaxies farther away moving away faster than closer ones. I made a link to it.
