1 00:00:13,749 --> 00:00:12,470 no matter how big your telescope is on 2 00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:13,759 the ground you just can't see through 3 00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:16,000 the air very well because the atmosphere 4 00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:17,760 is turbulent 5 00:00:21,429 --> 00:00:19,439 so even though you can see the stars 6 00:00:23,109 --> 00:00:21,439 with your eyes they're blurry they're 7 00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:23,119 twinkling they're doing things that you 8 00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:24,800 can't really compensate for yet from the 9 00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,880 ground so space telescope gives you a 10 00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:28,800 sharp image that you can't get from the 11 00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,680 ground 12 00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:34,079 [Music] 13 00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:35,840 in astronomy there's what we knew before 14 00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:37,360 hubble and now there's what we know 15 00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:40,160 after hubble they're so different 16 00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:41,920 of course hubble has now had a life of 17 00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:44,000 30 years so this had a long time to make 18 00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:46,079 this revolution happen so it's not all 19 00:00:50,370 --> 00:00:48,399 at once it's a gradual revolution but 20 00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:50,380 it's still a huge revolution 21 00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:01,039 [Music] 22 00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:02,480 i think the hubble telescope has been 23 00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,080 the most productive science instrument 24 00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,000 ever built 25 00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:08,159 so it is indeed the most astonishing
