With infrared telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope, the " host galaxies " surrounding the quasars have been identified in some cases.

Space telescopes allowed astronomers to study light emitted beyond the visible spectrum which is not detectable from ground-based observatories ( because only radio waves and visible light penetrate the Earth's atmosphere ).

Observations with Hubble Space Telescope and large terrestrial telescopes found water ice absorption features in the spectrum of Puck.

As a result, the angular resolution of space telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope is often much smaller than a ground-based telescope with a similar aperture.

The Hubble Space Telescope was serviced by the Space Shuttle while many other space telescopes cannot be serviced at all.

In 1953, Oberth returned to Feucht, Germany, to publish his book Menschen im Weltraum ( Men in Space ), in which he described his ideas for space-based reflecting telescopes, space stations, electric-powered spaceships, and space suits.

It would also see the introduction of space based telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope and FUSE have been the most recent major space telescopes to view the near and far UV spectrum of the sky, though other UV instruments have flown on sounding rockets and the Space Shuttle.

Other methods can achieve resolving power exceeding the limit imposed by atmospheric seeing, such as speckle imaging, aperture synthesis, lucky imaging, and space telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope.

* Lander Radio-Science on ExoMars, or LaRa, will use NASA's Deep Space Network of radio telescopes to track part of ESA's ExoMars mission.

GEODSS stands for Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance and these wide field Air Force telescopes were designed to optically observe Earth orbital spacecraft.

STS-35 was the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Columbia, the 38th shuttle flight, and a mission devoted to astronomical observations with ASTRO-1, a Spacelab observatory consisting of four telescopes.

Issues with the pointing precision of the IPS and the sequential overheating failures of both data display units ( used for pointing telescopes and operating experiments ) during the mission impacted crew-aiming procedures and forced ground teams at Marshall Space Flight Center ( MSFC ) to aim the telescopes with fine-tuning by the flight crew.

Space telescopes are used at certain wavelengths where the atmosphere is opaque, or to eliminate noise ( thermal radiation from the atmosphere ).

Science fiction set in what was the future but is now the past, like Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey or Nineteen Eighty-Four, are not alternate history because the author has not made the conscious choice to change the past.

Niven also occasionally refers to arcologies in his Known Space series, particularly in the stories involving Gil Hamilton, or the Pierson's Puppeteers, whose arcologies are enormous ( The smallest were cubes a mile in height, length and width.

Previously unpublished works are coming to light in A Café in Space, the Anaïs Nin Literary Journal, which most recently includes " Anaïs Nin and Joaquín Nin y Castellanos: Prelude to a Symphony — Letters between a father and daughter.

Estimates are produced by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research ( INPE ) for the entire Brazilian Legal Amazon by visually interpreting satellite imagery from the Landsat Thematic Mapper.

The other two films are Plan 9 from Outer Space and Night of the Ghouls.

Space and time are what physical objects are extended into.

For instance, David Hume famously regarded Space and Time as nothing more than psychological facts about human beings, which would effectively reduce Space and Time to ideas, which are properties of humans ( substances ).

coalition and the Toronto Public Space Committee are examples of activist networks committed to shielding local communities from government and corporate domination and inordinate influence.

He began working on the group of sculptures that are known as " Bird in Space " — simple shapes representing a bird in flight.

The Outsiders in Larry Niven's Known Space universe are cryogenic creatures based on liquid helium.

Near the bridge on the Peninsula are Menlo Park's Bayfront Park, East Palo Alto's Ravenswood Open Space Preserve, and the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve.

When it comes to the world's largest door, there is not just one, in fact there are four and they all belong to NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center.

Existing spacecraft are tracked by their interactions with the transmitters of the Deep Space Network ( DSN ), in effect an inverse GPS.

Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope indicate that extremely massive stars of spectral category O, which are much hotter than our Sun, produce a photo-evaporation effect that inhibits planetary formation.

Several awards, concepts, and institutions are named after Fermi, such as the Enrico Fermi Award, the Enrico Fermi Institute, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, a class of particles called fermions, the synthetic element fermium, and many more.

At a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society in Britain, a team from University of Queensland described 40 unknown " dwarf " galaxies in this constellation ; follow-up observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope revealed that ultra compact dwarfs are much smaller than previously known dwarf galaxies, about across.

Nowadays, some units of the Légion are in Corsica or overseas possessions ( mainly in French Guiana, guarding Guiana Space Centre ), while the rest are in the south of mainland France.

Geocaches are currently placed in over 200 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica, and the International Space Station.

The television program within the film, Galaxy Quest, is set around the starship NSEA Protector, an instrument of the National Space Exploration Administration, which are obviously parodies of the USS Enterprise and Starfleet respectively.

Several video games are based on or influenced heavily by Lovecraft such as Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, Shadow of the Comet, Prisoner of Ice, Shadowman, Alone in the Dark, Chzo Mythos, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Cthulhu Saves the World, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Dead Space, Splatterhouse, Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder, Penumbra, and Quake.

Most are still just theoretical, but the Deep Space 1 mission was a very successful test of an ion drive.

Space, time and material objects are unreal.
