Theoretically you could, but don't go shopping for giant mirrors any time soon. You might be thinking that if we place a large enough mirror far enough away that we could somehow see into our own past-- that is, the past relative to the people placing the mirror. In order for us to see our own past in the mirror, the mirror must already have been put in place at an enormous distance long, long ago, so that the light we see reflected in the mirror will have had its origin on earth at the distant past time that we would like to observe. Not doable. However, theoretical physicists and other scientists are already outlining not-totally-outlandish scenarios where travel through time may be possible in some circumstances. The outlining and the necessary engineering are probably going to be separated by many generations before there is any practical demonstration. Much more useful is the reality that the light we now observe from distant stars started its journey from the star as long ago as millions or even billions of years. Interestingly, from the point of view of the photons themselves, the trip is instantaneous.
Your eyes would explode.
I'm kidding, of course. You'd see a mirror through a telescope (or, more likely, you'd see whatever was being reflected in that mirror through the telescope). What did you expect would happen?
You could send out probes, and satellites.
because the earths plaits are pushed together to create stuff like volcanoes ,giant waves and earthquakes.gale force winds are created by space and
Yes, mirrors do work in outer space! That is because light also travels in space just like on Earth.
The mirror-answered by an unregistered user with research skills.
The idea is thought to have originated with Anazimander, a Greek who lived around 588 B.C.E. Before him, several explanations were given, like it was held up by a giant turtle or was floating in a giant sea.
people could look deeper into space with a giant telescope.
There are no lenses on the HST. The instrument is a reflector (= mirror). The amazing images are produced by long exposures (over hours) and observing in various spectral ranges (colors) separately.
A narrow full length mirror that you could post on the back of the door would be perfect. You can see yourself entirely in the mirror and it takes up very little space.
A telescope is an instrument that is highly used.

yes
well....yes they could if we were that advanced. not yet but maybe in the future.
yes you can, you are able to use a mirror in space because unlike speaking you don't need oxygen for a reflection you just need light
I suppose it is phsyically possible, but to what end? What purpose would a giant bubble in space be used for?
Yes, that's it precisely, it's just like a giant carpet except that carpets are made out of fabric and space isn't, and carpets are essentially two-dimensional and space isn't, and carpets are material, solid objects and space isn't, and... you know what? Space is NOTHING like a giant carpet.
