What If We Aimed the Hubble Telescope at Earth?

Описание: Have you ever wondered what would happen if we turned the Hubble Space Telescope back toward Earth? In this educational what-if scenario, we explore whether Hubble could snap ultra-detailed images of our planet. We talk about space exploration technology, Earth from space perspectives, and the surprising limitations of pointing this famous telescope at Earth.
It turns out that while Hubble’s optics are extremely powerful (theoretically resolving objects ~15–30 cm across, its fast orbit (~27,000 km/h) would smear any picture into blurry streaks.Hubble simply isn’t designed for Earth surveillance – for that, you’d need a dedicated spy satellite! So, what would we see if Hubble tried to image a city or your house?
And why does NASA occasionally aim Hubble at Earth (not to spy, but for a clever camera calibration trick?Join us as we delve into these questions and more. If you’re curious about space science and love imaginative what-if thought experiments (à la xkcd’s What If? or the What If Science Show), this speculative video adventure will satisfy your curiosity with a fun mix of science and wonder.
