A flawed mirror couldn't stop this camera from reshaping our view of the universe
20 mins ago
0
How did the Wide Field and Planetary Camera manage to contribute valuable scientific data despite the Hubble Space Telescope's flawed mirror?
It was immediately replaced and never used due to the mirror's defects.
The camera corrected the mirror's flaws through onboard software adjustments.
Its design allowed it to capture high-resolution images of bright objects even with the optical aberration.

Wide Field and Planetary Camera
A flawed mirror couldn’t stop the camera that changed our view of space
3 days ago
0
How did the Wide Field and Planetary Camera manage to contribute valuable astronomical data despite the Hubble Space Telescope's flawed mirror?
By using a backup mirror that corrected the main mirror's defects.
By focusing on bright objects where the optical defects had less impact, allowing high-resolution imaging.
By only capturing low-resolution images that were unaffected by the mirror flaws.

Wide Field and Planetary Camera
A flawed mirror couldn't stop this camera from capturing cosmic wonders
7 days ago
0
How did the Wide Field and Planetary Camera manage to produce valuable images despite the Hubble's flawed primary mirror?
It used software to completely correct the mirror's spherical aberration in real-time.
Its design allowed it to capture high-resolution images of bright objects even with the optical aberration.
The camera was unaffected because it was not installed on the Hubble Space Telescope.

A flawed mirror couldn't stop the Wide Field and Planetary Camera from capturing stunning cosmic images
12 days ago
0
What was the main reason the Wide Field and Planetary Camera was still able to produce valuable images despite Hubble's flawed mirror?
It used a special lens that corrected the mirror's spherical aberration completely.
The camera was not affected at all because it operated independently of the telescope's optics.
It captured high-resolution images of relatively bright astronomical objects that were less affected by the optical aberration.
