The Hubble Space Telescope doesn't use electricity in the same way that devices on Earth do. It's powered by solar panels.

Here's a breakdown:

* Solar Panels: Hubble has two large solar arrays, each spanning the length of a school bus. These panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.

* Batteries: The electricity generated by the solar panels is stored in nickel-hydrogen batteries. This allows the telescope to operate even when it's in Earth's shadow.

* Power Distribution: The electricity is then distributed throughout the telescope to power its instruments, computers, and other systems.

So, while Hubble uses electricity to function, it's generated from sunlight rather than being plugged into an outlet.
