Hubble Space Telescope: Exploring the Cosmos and Making Life Better on Earth

In the 35 years since its launch aboard space shuttle Discovery, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided stunning views of galaxies millions of light years away. But the leaps in technology needed for its look into space has also provided benefits on the ground. Here are some of the technologies developed for Hubble that have improved life on Earth.

Image Sensors Find Cancer

Charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors have been used in digital photography for decades, but Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph required a far more sensitive CCD. This development resulted in improved image sensors for mammogram machines, helping doctors find and treat breast cancer.

Laser Vision Gives Insights

In preparation for a repair mission to fix Hubble’s misshapen mirror, Goddard Space Flight Center required a way to accurately measure replacement parts. This resulted in a tool to detect mirror defects, which has since been used to develop a commercial 3D imaging system and a package detection device now used by all major shipping companies.

Optimized Hospital Scheduling

A computer scientist who helped design software for scheduling Hubble’s observations adapted it to assist with scheduling medical procedures. This software helps hospitals optimize constantly changing schedules for medical imaging and keep the high pace of emergency rooms going.

Optical Filters Match Wavelengths and Paint Swatches

For Hubble’s main cameras to capture high-quality images of stars and galaxies, each of its filters had to block all but a specific range of wavelengths of light. The filters needed to capture the best data possible but also fit on one optical element. A company contracted to construct these filters used its experience on this project to create filters used in paint-matching devices for hardware stores, with multiple wavelengths evaluated by a single lens.

Guys I just started bg3 and I keep seeing posts about someone named tav who is that

Is it just the agreed upon name for the player

Is it from the other baldurs gate games

I’m trying to prove a point to my commanding officer. Reblog if you think it’s okay to keep a few cartons of cigarettes on your space station so long as you don’t actually light them up.

when is the alice/gwen yuri dropping?

TRUE

forgot to post this . . literally drew it when the ep came out

im getting really fucking sick of all this “it gets better!” bullshit. im going to have depression for the rest of my life. it’s not going to “””get better””” fuck you

It’s the autism

I forgot to put tags

I forgot to post/didn’t have an account to post all my ink/magtober art so far so here’s all of it, good and bad and mediocre

Day 1: Dream

Day 2: Spiders

Day 3: Path (unfinished bc I was interrupted by an event I forgot about)

Day 4: Dodge (I had no clue what to do for this one it’s Martin and annabelle in a Dodge Challenger)

Day 5: skipped because I’m lazy

Day 6: Favorite avatar (this is when I discovered magtober, you will notice my design for Helen changes drastically over the course of the month. Also this is unfinished as well)

Day 7: Leitner

Day 8: Tragedy (…also unfinished I have adhd you’re not allowed to get mad at me (joking))

Day 9: Comedy

I was gonna do comedy in a Shakespeare way but then I had an idea and made a TikTok instead I’m not gonna link it though because my phone is struggling

Day 10: Favorite Statement (unfinished but I actually plan on finishing this one I swear)

Gonna make this post a two parter because my phone starts breaking down whenever I type more than 10 words

THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL HOUSE. THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
