SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Hubble Space Telescope orbits with Earth in the background after release from the space shuttle Columbia at the conclusion of Servicing Mission 3B in March 2002. Hubble has been in low-Earth orbit since 1990.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope are spacecrafts that are in orbit around the Earth, so they are also artificial satellites. The moon is a natural satellite of Earth, and Jupiter’s moons are natural satellites of Jupiter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hubble is in a low-Earth orbit, which means it’s one of the satellites orbiting less than 1, 200 miles (2, 000 km) from the planet’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -Overview. Webb often gets called the replacement for Hubble, but we prefer to call it a successor. After all, Webb is the scientific successor to Hubble; its science goals were motivated by results from Hubble.
