Question:

Wouldn´t a telescope in space take better pictures than ones on Earth?

The Hubble

The Hubble is a dream more than thirty years in the making. It is a joint venture between NASA and The European Space Agency. Once the Hubble is directed and picks up an image, the object's resolution (at 0.1 arc-seconds) is about 10 times better than groundbased telescopes.
