Hubble is a powerful space telescope that was launched into orbit in 1990. It uses a large mirror and advanced technology to capture images and data from distant objects in space.
Hubble has captured images of many different objects in space on different dates, including your birthday. To find out what Hubble saw on your birthday, you can use the Hubble Space Telescope website or other online resources to search for images taken on that specific date.
Hubble uses a combination of mirrors, lenses, and detectors to capture images of objects in space. The telescope's primary mirror reflects light onto smaller mirrors and then onto the camera, which records the images.
Hubble can see a wide range of objects in space, including stars, galaxies, planets, and nebulae. It can also capture images of objects that emit different types of light, such as infrared and ultraviolet.
Hubble has made numerous groundbreaking discoveries and has greatly contributed to our understanding of the universe. It has helped us learn more about the age and expansion of the universe, the formation of galaxies, and the existence of dark matter and dark energy. It has also provided stunning images of distant objects that have inspired and fascinated people around the world.
