How do lenses in telescopes and microscopes help people make observations?
They make things seen at a length larger.
Can you think of any tools or technologies that might have developed from people's observations of natural phenomena?
Nuclear weapons. Telescopes. The Calendar.
Is the telescope manned?
Terrestrial telescopes are generally manned, while space telescopes are unmanned. However, to a greater and greater extent, the people doing the observing are not the people actually manning the telescopes; the observations are done remotely from other universities around the world. The various space telescopes, such as the Hubble, the Kepler, or the Spitzer, or the soon-to-be-launched Webb, are remotely controlled in the same manner that everything is controlled these days; remotely, via computer.
Who uses telescopes?
Many people use a telescope. Astronomers, scientists, astronauts, cosmic data analysts. Even anyone who merely has a curiosity and wishes to know what is beyond our atmosphere uses a telescope.
What kind of telescopes do radio telescopes use?
Radio telescopes are basically specially designed antennas. They don't "see" anything. They "hear".

How do I use lenses in a sentence?
Lenses can help people to see better. Lenses are needed in telescopes for astronomers to see distant things in the night sky.

How do people use lenses to see things a long way away?
Lenses are either concave or convex. Concave lenses curve inward from both sides, and convex lenses curve outward one side and inward on the other. Concave and convex lenses change the image to be able to see from close or far distances.These are used for glasses, magnifying glasses, and telescopes.
When did van Leeuwenhoek first use his microscope?
It was sometime around 1670 that van Leeuwenhhoek made his big advancement in creating lenses with a higher magnification. He had microscopes for many years before that but was unable to see anything at better resolution than many other people. Shortly after developing the new lenses and finding a way to mount them in a microscope, he began to communicate his results to the Royal Society. His first communications included a description of the microscopic observations of a bee. It was a few years later than he discovered and communicated the first observations of single celled microorganisms.

What kind of tools are used when observing fossils and animal remains?
Hi! We usually use Hand lenses (Loupes), and microscopes for observing fossils. Sometimes, some people will use Dslr cameras with large lenses to photograph micro remains too.
How can microscopes see small objects?
Your phrasing is a bit sloppy. Microscopes do not see anything. People can use microscopes to enable them to see extremely small objects. Microscopes use lenses to bend light in such a way as to magnify images. A microscope is more powerful than a magnifying glass because more than one lens is used, in series. The light is bent, and then bent again, for even more bending.

What is the different between a telescope and a microscope?
A telescope is used to enable people to see very distant things (typically these distant things are astronomical in nature, although telescopes are sometimes used to view things on Earth as well) and microscopes are used to enable people to see very small things, such as bacteria.
Who built and used reflecting telescopes?
Thousands of people still do build their own astronomical telescopes; it isn't that hard to do.
How do you scientists use microscopes?
like other people, why?
