Scientist investigate the early universe by observing objects that are extremely far away in space.Beause it takes time for light to travel through space,looking through a telescope is like looking back in time one travels. Looking at distant galaxies evolve through time and perhaps what caused them to form in the first place.Scientiiist have already found some very strange looking objects in the Early universe.

Why are telescope eyepieces an important part of any visual telescope?

Telescope eyepieces are important of any visual telescope. It is the main part of the telescope and is what determines how the object will look like through the telescope.


What problem with earthbound telescopes does a space telescope overcome?

if you are looking at space from earth with a telescope your view will have to go through the earth atmosphere.... and for that the less brighter object in space will be blocked by the atmosphere... polutions etc.... but space telescope like hubbles... etc are situated in outer layer of our earth atmosphere..... thats why through it we can observe much clear space view....


What is the first documentation of Venus?

How does the focal length of the lens change when you sift looking from a distant object to nearby object?

The focal length of the lens can be changed by the ciliary muscles in the eye due to which we can shift looking from a distant object to nearby object .

Why is looking through a telescope like looking back in time?

Looking through a telescope is like looking back in time because light takes time to travel from distant objects to reach us. The farther away an object is, the longer it takes for its light to reach us. Therefore, when we observe distant celestial objects through a telescope, we are actually seeing them as they were in the past, since the light we are observing left those objects long ago.
