00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,920
What wavelengths of light can Hubble see?

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,960
The Hubble
space telescope can see light

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,480
in the ultraviolet wavelengths and
visible wavelengths of light and

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,039
somewhat into the infrared part of the
spectrum.

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,880
The Hubble space telescope is really an
observatory because it has

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,480
several science instruments, several
modes of operation.

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:36,719
We have multiple cameras, multiple
spectrographs, they each have different

9
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,360
capabilities in terms of their
sensitivities

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,520
or the kinds of frequencies they can
receive.

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,600
We can also use Hubble in different
kinds of intriguing modes depending on

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,120
what we're trying to observe.
We can even track fast-moving things

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,399
like comets moving through
our solar system so it is that

14
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:57,039
versatility of the scientific
instruments

15
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:01,039
and the way we use them that enables
hubble to be a wonderful

16
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:05,439
observatory for all kinds of astronomy
from the nearby solar system to the

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,220
distant universe.
