Hubble space telescope

[Pradeepkumar]

Hubble space telescope is able to capture a picture of a collision between two galaxies, 2.5 billion light years (reference-a newspaper)away from a place near the Earth,isn't?

 

 

if it is near pluto or somwhere it can capture pictures far off,isn't?

err.

 

do you mean 'if it was orbiting pluto could it take pictures of things further away?'

 

if you do then the answer is nope. there are a couple of reasons for this.

 

1/ it is solar powered, it would not work that far from the sun.

2/ several million kilometers sounds like a lot untill you consider its looking several billion light years. there would not be any appreciable difference.

3/it can already detect the most distant objects we know of.
