"THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY SCIENTIFIC QUESTION"
Gravitational Lens Effect, predicted by Prof. Albert Einstein in 1912 is proven by Hubble Telescope.
Simply put, the Gravitational Lens Effect is a process in which light is amplified and twisted by gravitational effect of very large celestial bodies (a lot of mass) modifying space-time tissue and thus light that propagates through it.
See the ring of light with four very bright spots in photo (from this last week of August 2021). It's actually just one point, the other three points are due to Einstein Gravitational Lens effect.
The bright spot is a Quasar influenced by gravity of two galaxies that we see as one in center of ring. Its gravitational force deforms all space-time around it, assumes light from the Quasar that is behind the galaxies bends and deforms as it passes close to galaxies.
What is your scientific opinion about space telescopes, important or superfluous?

Gravitational lensing is not only observed by space telescopes. And the use of space telescopes is much broader. All questions where the atmosphere limits or even prevents observations can be better answered with space telescopes.
Hello Prof, I think Space telescopes is important because it helps scientist to understand how planet and galaxies form. Although they are very expensive to build than ground-based telescopes and they are also extremely difficult to maintain.
Dear friend prof. Filipe Wiltgen, usually very nice & valuable question you asked. World of space is still scientific research in it & there are many research methods depending on the purpose of research & telescopes are one of the first ways to research space & developed with time & the lenses used for this purpose have evolved & are still developing according to need. Thank you a lot.
Dear friend Prof. Shaker A.N. Al-Jadaan ,
As always I appreciate your routine kindness.
Thank you for your participation in the debate.
My best regards,
Wiltgen
Some people don't understand what scientific proof and theory are.
That very sad!

Dear Filipe,
As Einstein said about curiosity "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery every day"- many tools can help in Exploring new spaces and telescopes are very good examples of them. We can see more and develop our imagination.
Kind regards, Alina
Dear Profesor Filipe Wiltgen,
The Hubble Telescope is currently one of the most sophisticated space telescopes. I hope that in the future even more powerful and perfect telescopes will be built, thanks to which we will be able to find out what is on other similar exopalets, in other planetary systems, in other constellations, and possibly other galaxies as well. Perhaps someday in the future, thanks to appropriately perfect space telescopes, we will obtain hard evidence that on others similar to our planet Earth there is an alternative life, other life forms, other intelligent creatures, other civilizations. Due to the huge cosmic distances of many millions of light years, we will probably never get there, but thanks to super space telescopes, we may be able to answer many questions that have been bothering people for centuries.
Best wishes,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Dear friend Profa. Alina Betlej ,
Said everything!
We are human, so we have curiosity, imagination, creativity, determination and purpose!
My best regards,
Wiltgen
Dear Prof. Dariusz Prokopowicz,
I hope Hubble telescope and soon James Webb telescope can really help answer old questions and help us propose new ones!
Best regards,
Wiltgen
