Hubble Trivia: 10) How Much Exposure Time Did it Take to Capture the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Image?

The video discusses the unique aspects of capturing a specific astronomical image using the Hubble Space Telescope. It highlights the long exposure time of 11.2 days and the extensive use of 400 orbits to capture the image. The video emphasizes the challenges of dedicating such a significant amount of Hubble's time to a single spot in the sky, given the limitation of 15 orbits per day. The scientific results from this observation were remarkable and provided spectacular insights into the field of astronomy.

• 200 orbits

• 300 orbits

• 400 orbits

• 500 orbits

How many orbits does Hubble typically complete in a day?

• 10 orbits

• 15 orbits

• 25 orbits

• 20 orbits

What was the main focus of the 400 orbits dedicated by Hubble?

• Studying the sun

• Observing multiple spots in the sky

• Capturing images of planets
