🌟 REACH FOR THE STARS 🌟

THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE 
Whirls around Earth at 17,000 mph and is 340 above the Earth

The sun emitting a huge flare that can send immense radiation to Earth
It is expected that once in a century it can destroy most communication systems on Earth!


Sun Facts:
.
The sun is orbited by nine major planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (no longer an official planet).

Classified as a G2 dwarf due to its size, heat, and chemical makeup, the sun is a medium-sized star. A G star is cool (between 5,000-6,000 on the Kelvin temperature scale) and has a complex chemistry, which means its makeup includes chemicals heavier than helium.

Based on the average life of a G2 star, the present age of the sun is estimated to be 4.6 billion years, halfway through its lifetime.

Four million tons of hydrogen are consumed by the sun every second, which helps to create the sun’s composition of 75 percent hydrogen, 23 percent helium, and 2 percent heavier elements.

The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.

Thus ALL the planets are only 0.14 of the mass of the solar system!

Did you know...amazing Hubble Facts:


  • Hubble has made more than 1.3 million observations since its mission began in 1990.
  • Astronomers using Hubble data have published more than 15,000 scientific papers, making it one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built.  Those papers have been cited in other papers 738,000 times.
  • Hubble does not travel to stars, planets or galaxies. It takes pictures of them as it whirls around Earth at about 17,000 mph.
  • Hubble has circled Earth and gone more than 4 billion miles along a circular low earth orbit currently about 340 miles in altitude.
  • Hubble has no thrusters. To change angles, it uses Newton’s third law by spinning its wheels in the opposite direction. It turns at about the speed of a minute hand on a clock, taking 15 minutes to turn 90 degrees.
  • Hubble has the pointing accuracy of .007 arcseconds, which is like being able to shine a laser beam on President Roosevelt’s head on a dime about 200 miles away.
  • Outside the haze of our atmosphere, it can see astronomical objects with an angular size of 0.05 arcseconds, which is like seeing a pair of fireflies in Tokyo that are less than 10 feet apart from Washington, DC.
  • Due to the combination of optics and sensitive detectors and with no atmosphere to interfere with the light reaching it, Hubble can spot a night light on the surface of the Moon from Earth.
  • Hubble has peered back into the very distant past, to locations more than 13.4 billion light-years from Earth.
  • Hubble generates about 10 terabytes of new data per year. The total archive is currently over 150 TB in size. 
  • Hubble weighed about 24,000 pounds at launch but if returned to Earth today would weigh about 27,000 pounds — on the order of two full-grown African elephants.
  • Hubble's primary mirror is 2.4 meters (7 feet, 10.5 inches) across.  It was so finely polished that if you scaled it to be the diameter of the Earth, you would not find a bump more than 6 inches tall.
  • Hubble is 13.3 meters (43.5 feet) long — the length of a large school bus.
