The Hubble telescope is located outside our atmosphere and is orbiting around the Earth at 368 miles above sea level with an orbital period of about 96 to 97 minutes at a speed of 17,400 MPH. It weighs about 6835 lb in a cylindrical form it's 43. Feet in length and has a diameter of 13. Feet. This telescope can obtain images of the cosmos at an 0,1 arc second of resolution.
