The Hubble Space Telescope is designed with ____________  hyperbolic mirrors is known for good imaging performance over a wide field of view. 

physics universe and space xx radio telescope and space telescopes optical instruments : telescope

  1. two

  2. four

  3. three

  4. many

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hubble space telescope is reflecting telescope it is designed with TWO hyperbolic mirrors. A curved primary mirror is the basic optical element that creates an image at the focal plane. And secondary mirror was added to modify the optical characteristics for visual observation.

  1. Hubbles observations found that black holes are common to the centers of all galaxies.

  2. Hubble's Telescope was first to found the traces of water on Earth.

  3. Hubble Deep field and Hubble Ultra Deep Field images reveal galaxies that are billions of light-years away.

  4. Astronauts used the telescope to observe distant supernovae.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We know that Earth has water, blue planet, 71% of Earth's surface is covered in water. Hubble telescope was definitely not the first to found the traces of water on Earth.
