Hubble's field of view
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? Incidentally, Hubble identified at least 1,500 galaxies in that observation. |
