| Hubble Space Telescope | Space | The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a unique astronomical observatory. From its vantage point 620 km above the surface of the Earth, it looks out into space with a 2.4 meter primary mirror which provides unprecedented image resolution from 120 nm (near-ultraviolet) to 2500 NM (near-infrared). The near vacuum of space affords the HST with an unfair advantage over ground-based observatories. The Earth's atmosphere absorbs a great deal of ultraviolet and infrared radiation, and distorts visible light images as well. In the upper reaches of the atmosphere, the HST is able to capture images and spectra from distant stars which would be difficult or impossible to obtain from the ground. (NASA satellite), (HST).
