by NASA and STScI (adapted excerpt)Orbiting 360 miles above Earth, the Hubble Space Telescope is positioned high above the blurring effects of the atmosphere. From this vantage point, it captures images with 10 times the typical clarity of any ground-based telescope and views not only visible light but also wavelengths1 of near-infrared and ultraviolet light that cannot reach Earth's surface. To operate from orbit, the observatory works like any other scientific or imaging spacecraft; it converts the optical data it collects into electrical signals that are transmitted back to Earth. It must also withstand the airless, high-radiation, and harsh thermal environment of space.Unlike most other spacecraft, however, Hubble was designed to be serviced periodically by astronauts and so was built with modular components that are astronaut-friendly to handle and replace. This design strategy has enabled it to operate longer than ordinary spacecraft and to benefit from the technological advancements of the last two decades. Astronauts have visited the telescope five times to upgrade its computers, mechanisms, and instruments. These servicing missions have kept the observatory at the forefront of discovery by providing it with increasingly sensitive and accurate components. The last of these servicing calls was in May 2009.1.  the distance between one light wave from any one point to the next point of corresponding phase1Choose the correct answer.Which statement best expresses the central idea of the passage? A. The Hubble observatory lacks the latest technological advancements of the last decade. B. The Hubble observatory requires astronauts to regularly repair it due to its failing parts. C. The Hubble observatory is designed to study planets from the perspective of space. D. The Hubble observatory is designed to function and be maintained while in orbit.

One advantage of the Hubble Space telescope over ground based ones is thatGroup of answer choicesit is larger than any Earth-based scopes.its adaptive optics controls atmospheric blurring better.it can better focus x-ray images.in orbit, it can operate close to its diffraction limit at visible wavelengths.it can make better observations of the ozone layer.

What is the resolution of a telescope?Group of answer choicesits ability to distinguish two adjacent objects close together in the skyits ability to see very faint objectsits ability to make distant objects appear much closer to usits ability to focus more than just visible light for imagingits ability to separate light into its component colors for analysis

19)The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is projected to maintain operation until at least 2030, but it has already revolutionized high-resolution imaging of solar-system bodies in visible and ultraviolet (UV) light wavelengths, notwithstanding that only about 6% of the bodies imaged by the HST are within the solar system. NASA researcher Cindy L. Young and colleagues assert that a new space telescope dedicated exclusively to solar-system observations would permit an extensive survey of minor solar-system bodies and long-term UV observation to discern how solar-system bodies change over time. Young and colleagues' recommendation therefore implies that the HST ______ Which choice most logically completes the text?IFRPRAEN-019will likely continue to be used primarily to observe objects outside the solar system.will no longer be used to observe solar system objects if the telescope recommended by Young and colleagues is deployed.can be modified to observe the features of solar system objects that are of interest to Young and colleagues.lacks the sensors to observe the wavelengths of light needed to discern how solar system bodies change over time.
