  2. Observable universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe

    Hubble Ultra-Deep Field image of a region of the observable universe (equivalent sky area size shown in bottom left corner), near the constellation Fornax. Each spot is a galaxy, consisting of billions of stars. The light from the smallest, most redshifted galaxies originated nearly 13.8 billion years ago.

    The Hubble tension is one of the most hotly debated discrepancies in all of astronomy. It centers around a number called the Hubble constant, which is functionally the rate at which our universe ...

    Hubble can also observe at ultraviolet wavelengths which do not penetrate the atmosphere. Each observatory was designed to push the state of technology in its region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Compton was much larger than any gamma-ray instruments flown on the previous HEAO missions, opening entirely new areas of observation.

  5. Cosmological horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_horizon

    Hubble radius, Hubble sphere (not to be confused with a Hubble bubble), Hubble volume, or Hubble horizon is a conceptual horizon defining the boundary between particles that are moving slower and faster than the speed of light relative to an observer at one given time. Note that this does not mean the particle is unobservable; the light from ...

  6. Observational cosmology - Wikipedia

    Two years later, Hubble showed that the relation between the distances and velocities was a positive correlation and had a slope of about 500 km/s/Mpc. [10] This correlation would come to be known as Hubble's law and would serve as the observational foundation for the expanding universe theories on which cosmology is still based.

    The aim is to find so-called M Dwarfs, stars 20 times dimmer than our sun, and see if they emit too much radiation to support life on other worlds. Mini-Hubble will scan dim stars to see if they ...

  9. Hubble Space Telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope

    The Hubble Space Telescope (HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope, but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy.
