THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST; also known colloquially as "the Hubble" or just "Hubble") is a telescope that was carried into Earth orbit by the Space Shuttle in April 1990. It is named for American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although Hubble was not the first space telescope, it is one of the largest and most versatile, and well known as a vital research tool. The HST is collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency.
Hubble works on the same principle as the first reflecting telescope built in the 1600s by Isaac Newton. Light enters the telescope and strikes a concave primary mirror, which acts like a lens to focus the light. Then, this reflected light goes to a smaller secondary mirror right in front, which reflects the light back through a hole in the primary to instruments clustered behind the focal plane (where the image is in focus). Hubble's angular resolution is 0.05 arcsecond. This is the "sharpness" of Hubble's vision. If you could see as well as Hubble, you could stand in New York City and distinguish two fireflies, 1 m apart, in San Francisco.
Hubble is not that far away — only about 600 km above Earth. Its nearly circular orbit takes it once around the planet every 97 minutes. The orbit is inclined (tilted) to the equator at an angle of 28.5º, which means that it never travels farther north than 28.5º N (the latitude of Cape Canaveral, Florida), or farther south than 28.5º S (the approximate latitude of Brisbane, Australia).
Hubble's important mission will come to an end one day in the future. But the telescope's ultimate retirement will not signal the end of our unrivaled view of the universe. Rather, it will mark a new beginning – and even more amazing discoveries and images from space. For Hubble has a successor. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which is being designed right now, may be launched as early as 2011. When that day comes, scientists using JWST hope to discover and understand even more about our fascinating universe. With ten times the light-gathering power of Hubble, JWST will peer deeper into the universe than ever before — back to the era when galaxies first formed.

THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST; also known colloquially as "the Hubble" or just "Hubble") is a telescope that was carried into Earth orbit by the Space Shuttle in April 1990. O Telescópio Espacial Hubble (HST; também conhecido coloquialmente como "o Hubble" ou apenas "Hubble") é um telescópio que foi transportado para a órbita da Terra pelo ônibus espacial em abril de 1990.
It is named for American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Seu nome é em homenagem ao astrônomo americano Edwin Hubble.
Although Hubble was not the first space telescope, it is one of the largest and most versatile, and well known as a vital research tool. Embora o Hubble não tenha sido o primeiro telescópio espacial, é um dos maiores e mais versáteis, e bem conhecido como uma ferramenta de investigação vital.
The HST is collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency. O HST é uma colaboração entre a NASA e a Agência Espacial Europeia.
Hubble works on the same principle as the first reflecting telescope built in the 1600s by Isaac Newton. O Hubble funciona com o mesmo princípio do primeiro telescópio refletor construído em 1600 por Isaac Newton.
Light enters the telescope and strikes a concave primary mirror, which acts like a lens to focus the light. A luz entra no telescópio e atinge um espelho primário côncavo, que atua como uma lente para focar a luz.
Then, this reflected light goes to a smaller secondary mirror right in front, which reflects the light back through a hole in the primary to instruments clustered behind the focal plane (where the image is in focus). Então, essa luz refletida vai para um espelho secundário menor bem na frente, que reflete a luz de volta através de um orifício no primário para instrumentos agrupados atrás do plano focal (onde a imagem está em foco).
Hubble's angular resolution is 0.05 arcsecond. A resolução angular do Hubble é de 0,05 segundos de arco.
This is the "sharpness" of Hubble's vision. Esta é a “nitidez” da visão do Hubble.
If you could see as well as Hubble, you could stand in New York City and distinguish two fireflies, 1 m apart, in San Francisco. Se você pudesse ver tão bem quanto o Hubble, você poderia estar na cidade de Nova York e distinguir dois vaga-lumes, separados por 1 m, em São Francisco.
Hubble is not that far away — only about 600 km above Earth. O Hubble não está tão longe – apenas cerca de 600 km acima da Terra.
Its nearly circular orbit takes it once around the planet every 97 minutes. Sua órbita quase circular dá uma volta ao redor do planeta a cada 97 minutos.
The orbit is inclined (tilted) to the equator at an angle of 28.5º, which means that it never travels farther north than 28.5º N (the latitude of Cape Canaveral, Florida), or farther south than 28.5º S (the approximate latitude of Brisbane, Australia). A órbita é inclinada (inclinada) em relação ao equador em um ângulo de 28,5º, o que significa que ela nunca viaja mais ao norte do que 28,5º N (a latitude do Cabo Canaveral, Flórida), ou mais ao sul do que 28,5º S (a latitude aproximada de Brisbane, Austrália).
Hubble's important mission will come to an end one day in the future. A importante missão do Hubble chegará ao fim um dia no futuro.
But the telescope's ultimate retirement will not signal the end of our unrivaled view of the universe. Mas a retirada definitiva do telescópio não assinalará o fim da nossa visão incomparável do universo.
Rather, it will mark a new beginning – and even more amazing discoveries and images from space. Em vez disso, marcará um novo começo – e descobertas e imagens ainda mais surpreendentes do espaço.
For Hubble has a successor. Pois o Hubble tem um sucessor.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which is being designed right now, may be launched as early as 2011. O Telescópio Espacial James Webb (JWST), que está a ser concebido neste momento, poderá ser lançado já em 2011.
When that day comes, scientists using JWST hope to discover and understand even more about our fascinating universe. Quando esse dia chegar, os cientistas que utilizam o JWST esperam descobrir e compreender ainda mais sobre o nosso fascinante universo.
With ten times the light-gathering power of Hubble, JWST will peer deeper into the universe than ever before — back to the era when galaxies first formed. Com dez vezes o poder de captação de luz do Hubble, o JWST irá perscrutar mais profundamente o universo do que nunca – de volta à época em que as galáxias se formaram.
