HubblHubblee

The Hubble Space Telescope is a robotic telescope located at the outer edges of the atmosphere, in

circular orbit around the Earth at 593 km above sea level, with an orbital period between 96 and 97 min. at a speed of 28,000 km / h. Called Hubble in honor of Edwin Hubble, was launched on April 24, 1990 as

a joint project of NASA and ESA inaugurating the Great Observatories program. Weighs about 11,000 kilos, is cylindrical and has a length of 13.2 m and a maximum diameter of 4.2 meters. The telescope can produce images with higher optical resolution of 0.1

arcsec.

First we have the “Galaxia del Sombrero”, also called M 104 in the Messier catalog, distance of about 28 million light years, is considered

the best picture taken by Hubble.

Secondly we have the fabulous Mz3 Nebula Ant Nebula called the garb of the telescopes, located between 3000 and 6000 light years.

Thirdly we can see the Eskimo Nebula NGC 2392, located at 5000 light years.

Fourthly we have chosen the stunning Cat's Eye Nebula.

In fifth place we have chosen the Hourglass Nebula located 8000 light years, a beautiful nebula with a narrowing in the

middle.

In sixth place we have the Cone Nebula, 2.5 light years.

Seventh find a fragment of the Swan Nebula, located at 5500 light years away, described as “a bubbly ocean of hydrogen with small

amounts of oxygen, sulfur and other elements“

Comet HalleyComet Halley

Comet Halley has an elliptical orbit, with a focus on the Sun. Its orbital period is between 74 to 79 years. The last time was seen

from Earth, was in 1986. It is estimated that its next perihelion will be in 2061.

Named after the astronomer who discovered it, Edmund Halley, in 1705. Its origin is found in two places: the Kuiper Belt (a flat disk of icy debris

star) and the Oort Cloud (a sphere of cometary bodies, whose inner edge is located about 50,000 AU)
