Would it be better with a space telescope like Hubble?

No. It doesn't have the atmosphere to worry about, but the mirror size is too small (2.4 m vs. 30 m for upcoming telescopes) and resolution scales inversely with that size. At best it could detect a brighter featureless blob.

I would think it would be better, but I too wonder this and if so, how much better?
