As one with an interest in astounding facts I hope someone can answer this
question. Hubble's field of view for one particular observation was equated
with the area of a dime at 75 feet, how many of those areas would there be
in the total sky, northern and southern hemispheres?
Calculate the surface area of a sphere 75 feet in diameter; the relevant
formula is 4 * pi * r^2. Divide that by the area of a dime.
