Exploring the Universe with Space Telescopes

What was the significant achievement of the Hubble Space Telescope in 2004?

• It captured the first image of a black hole.

• It revealed the first ultra-deep field image.

• It discovered a new planet in our solar system.

• It mapped the surface of Mars.

Why can't we see farther in visible light when observing distant galaxies?

• The light is blocked by cosmic dust.

• The galaxies are moving too fast.

• The expansion of space stretches their light into infrared.

• The galaxies are too small to detect.

What is a key feature of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope compared to Hubble?

• It will be launched in 2025.

• It will have a larger mirror.

• It will cover 200 times the area of sky in each image.

• It will operate only in visible light.

What is the purpose of creating simulated ultra-deep field images?

• To test new camera technologies.

• To help astronomers plan future observations.

• To entertain the public with space visuals.

• To replace actual space telescope images.

What time period do ultra-deep field images reveal?

• From the beginning of the Milky Way to its current state.

• From 200 million to 1 billion years after the Big Bang.

• From the formation of the solar system to now.

• From the Big Bang to 1 billion years later.
