The Hubble Space Telescope HST has excellent resolving power

The Hubble Space Telescope HST has excellent resolving power because there is no atmospheric distortion of the light Its 2 40 m diameter primary mirror can collect light from distant galaxies that formed early in the history of the universe How far apart can two star clusters be from each other if they are 14 0 billion lightyears away from Earth and are barely resolved by the HST using visible light with a wavelength of 400 nm
