1. Deep-Space and Universe Observations:
- Observing and studying deep space is one of the Hubble Space Telescope's main objectives. HST is equipped with powerful cameras and instruments that allow astronomers to peer deeper into the universe than ever before. It can capture detailed images of distant galaxies, stars, nebulae, quasars, supernovae, and other celestial objects.
2. Understanding Cosmic Evolution:
- HST assists astronomers in their quest to grasp cosmic evolution or how the universe evolved from its humble origins following the Big Bang to the complex cosmos we see today. Galaxies' shapes, colors, masses, and ages enable scientists to piece together this evolutionary jigsaw puzzle and understand various phases and transformations that galaxies undergo over time.
