actually you can, but it all depends on the weather. In 2006, you could see Discovery docking with the International Space Station during the twilight hours in clear weather.
"The appearance of either the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station moving across the sky is not in itself unusual. Truth be told, on any clear evening within a couple of hours of local sunset and with no optical aid, you can usually spot several orbiting Earth satellites creeping across the sky like moving stars. Satellites become visible only when they are in sunlight and the observer is in deep twilight or darkness. This usually means shortly after dusk or before dawn".

You can, but you can even see it with just the naked eye. It is actually harder to watch a moving object with a telescope than with the naked eye. Binoculars are good too. It is about 250 miles high, so all you will see is the light of the sun reflecting off it, but when it does pass overhead in darkness it can be very bright looking. It will pass over any part of the world at various times. There are various sites that will tell you when you can see it where you live. Two of these are listed in the Related Links below.
Yup. Powerful telescopes you can see. is Mercury, Venus. Mars, Jupier, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. And no. You can't see Pluto.
Yes, It appears as a bright looking "star" that steadily crosses the sky for seconds or minutes depending on the orbital path it takes and your location.
Sure, if you aim the telescope downwards at the ground. You can see it without a telescope too. You're standing on Earth right now.
Yes, you can also see Mercury and Saturn without a telescope. With a telescope, you can see all the planets.
a telescope because if you never heard of the Hubble telescope that is like the international telescope.
With a telescope, you can see a lot more detail on the planets surface. Without a telescope you can only see bright dots, like surrounding stars, but with a telescope you can make out more - you can see the rings of Saturn for example of the bands and red spot on Jupiter.
Yes, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn had been discovered several millennia before the invention of the telescope.
it allows you to see close ups of the moon and other planets to see the events that occur on special occasions
by a telescope
through a telescope
Yes, you can also see Mercury and Saturn without a telescope. With a telescope, you can see all the planets.

through a telescope :)
Ancient India discovered only 5 planets without a telescope, because they could see the planets with their eyes, just as we can. Those planets are:MercuryVenusMarsJupiterSaturn
With a powerful enough telescope, you could be anywhere
the sun, stars, planets, moon, through a telescope
Definitely. You can see five planets (in addition to Earth) without a telescope.With your telescope, you can see features on them that your eyes can't detect,like the stripes on Jupiter, the moons around it, and the rings of Saturn. Youjust have to know where to look to find the planets.
yes as you know we use the telescope to see other planets. since we had the telescope, we have discovered five new planets in our solar system which lay beyond pluto
Probably because without telescopes people wouldn't know that there were other planets (except that in addition to Earth, you can see five other planets without a telescope, but hey . . .)
To see planets, stars, comets and to take pictures.
