Hubble Trivia: 2) How Far Has Hubble Seen Into the Universe?

The video discusses the Hubble Space Telescope's ability to observe the universe's edge, approximately 13.5 billion light years away. Despite not being initially designed for such distances, advancements in technology and innovative observing techniques have enabled Hubble to capture deep exposures, revealing the universe's farthest reaches.

How far is the edge of the universe from us?

• 10 billion light years

• 13.5 billion light years

• 15 billion light years

• 20 billion light years

What was the original expectation for Hubble's observational range?

• To capture images of the entire universe

• To not see as far as it does now

• To observe only nearby galaxies

• To see beyond 20 billion light years

What has allowed Hubble to observe further into the universe?

• Collaboration with other space agencies

• Newer telescopes replacing Hubble

• Advancements in instruments and scientific strategies

• Increased funding for space exploration

What technique is used to gather more data from distant parts of the universe?

• Short, frequent exposures

• Deep exposures over multiple orbits

• Using multiple telescopes simultaneously

• Observing during solar eclipses

What significant achievement has Hubble accomplished with its deep exposures?

• Captured images of the sun's surface

• Mapped the entire Milky Way galaxy

• Discovered new planets in our solar system

• Seen to the edge of the universe
