What is the location of the keck telescopes?
The Keck telescope has a 10m mirror.
What is the dameter of each of the twin Keck telescopes?
The telescopes' primary mirrors are 10 meters in diameter.
Can the Keck telescopes be used to see black holes?
The Keck telescopes are optical, so no. The only possible exception being the super-luminous flash of Hawking radiation that theoretically occurs in certain-sized black holes, although orbital telescopes have a much better chance of detecting this light. Most of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from black holes has energies in the range of x-rays, an energy range that the Keck telescopes aren't designed for. However, the most likely way that a black hole will be experimentally proven to exist is through the indirect method of measuring stellar orbits. Believe it or not, simple calculations from the ultra-precise, Keplerian orbital measurements of distant stars can be made to show the necessary size and mass of whatever object it is those stars are orbiting. If that size and mass fit the necessary conditions required of black holes, then there's your proof. The Keck telescopes are VERY well-equipped to make those kinds of measurements.
What is the biggest telescope in Hawaii called?
There are two very similar 10-meter telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Where are most optical telescopes are located?
1. Radio telescopes are directional radio antennae that have a curved shape and are used like other astronomical telescopes to study objects in the universe beyond Earth and the Solar System. They gather radio waves and process them by using a computer.
How are the telescopes Keck I and Keck II different from radio telescope?
They are optical telescopes.
How are the Keck telescopes different from radio telescopes?
keck telescopes 1,2 tie the records for the largest telscopes in the world
How are radio telescopes different from the keck telescopes?
keck telescopes 1,2 tie the records for the largest telscopes in the world
How are the telescopes keck 1 and keck 2 different from a radio telescope?
I have no idea and it does not even say it in the textbook
How are radio telescopes different from keck telescopes?
Keck telescopes do not exist, Keck telescope refers to the WM Keck Observatory on Mt. Kea.The Keck Observatory is comprised of several opticalreflecting telescopes, whereas aradio telescope consists of a large parabolic solid metal or screen reflector with a radioreceiver at its focus, built to detect and measure radio waves.
What is the location of the keck telescopes?
The Keck telescope has a 10m mirror.
How big are the mirrors on the keck telescopes?
10 m
What is the dameter of each of the twin Keck telescopes?
The telescopes' primary mirrors are 10 meters in diameter.
Which ground-based telescopes has a collecting surface that combines more than a dozen mirrors?
Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii
What tools does an astronomer need?
Reaching back in time, most people had just used their naked eye, but most recently as the telescope was invented, people had used and invented more and more telescopes. For example, the hubble telescope, the keck telescope, the arecibo radio telescope and so on.
