New carbon nanotube technology could be used to build 22,300-mile long space elevator
by William Atkins
The Space Elevator—an elevator that would go up and down between the Earth’s surface and a point in space above the Earth—has been a topic of science and science fiction for years. However, no materials existed that were strong enough to actually build it. In the twenty-first century, that is no longer the case.
Hubble and other space telescopes by William Atkins
We hear much news about the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and, sometimes, it seems that it is the only telescope in space. However, it is not. HST, like other space observatories, is an instrument launched into outer space that is used by astronomers to observe planets, stars, galaxies, and other space objects.
