Hubble Space Telescope Directly Observes Exoplanet
Science & Reason on Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/ScienceReason Hubblecast 22: Hubble Space Telescope Directly Observes Exoplanet Orbiting Fomalhaut. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered an extrasolar planet, for the first time using direct visible-light imaging. The strange world is far-flung from its parent star, is surrounded by a colossal belt of gas and dust, and may even have rings more impressive than Saturn's. --- Subscribe to Science & Reason: • http://www.YouTube.com/Best0fScience • http://www.YouTube.com/ScienceMagazine • http://www.YouTube.com/ScienceTV • http://www.YouTube.com/FFreeThinker --- Credit: - ESA/Hubble (M.

A video by the Max Planck Society from 2004 regarding the new Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona- 'The world's largest single telescope is being set up atop Mount Graham in Arizona at an elevation of 3,190 meters. This revolutionary instrument, called the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), is equipped with two light-collecting mirrors of 8.4 meters in diameter which can both be directed at a distant celestial body simultaneously, similar to a pair of binoculars.
