Sorry for the OT question, but this has been nagging me for some time.
Hubble is in orbit around the earth, and as such, travels at a great speed as well as constantly changing its direction of travel (nature of a circular trajectory). How does it take pictures of very faint objects without having any blurr due to its movement or change in orientation due to its orbit ? Or is its CDD sensor (or whatever technology used to capture images) so sensitive that it only needs a very short exposure time to capture those images and thus the speed of Hubble is of no consequence ? |
