SPACE EXPLORATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Hubble Space Telescope is a telescope that NASA launched into space in 1990. Scientists MOST likely prefer to use the Hubble Space Telescope instead of a land-basedtelescope because it provides better accuracy at
A
predicting solar eclipses.
B
investigating faraway galaxies.
C
investigating the size of Venus.
D
predicting the phases of the moon.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has been orbiting Earth and sending back images of space for astronomers to view and interpret. What benefit is there to a telescope that orbits Earth? Views from outer space telescopes are clearer than those from Earth-based telescopes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists have used Hubble to observe the most distant stars and galaxies as well as the planets in our solar system. Hubble’s launch and deployment in April 1990 marked the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo’s telescope.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hubble’s orbit outside the distortion of Earth’s atmosphere allows it to capture extremely high-resolution images with substantially lower background light than ground-based telescopes. It has recorded some of the most detailed visible light images, allowing a deep view into space.
