Galileo's invention helped people see the craters and maria on the moon's surface.
The surface of a radio telescope doesn't have to be as flawless as the surface of an optical telescope because the radio telescope is collecting radio waves, something that will not be affected by faults in the glass. Optical telescopes, on the other hand, are collecting light, where faults in the surface can interfere with the image.
Yes, Sarah Mather, an African American, is credited as the inventor of the submarine telescope. She patented this invention in 1845, which allowed for underwater exploration and observation without the need to surface.
In 1609, Galileo Galilei made a significant breakthrough in moon exploration by using a telescope to observe the Moon's surface. This led to the discovery of mountains, craters, and other features on the Moon, challenging the prevailing belief that the Moon was a smooth, perfect sphere.
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.
The Hubble Telescope is a space telescope which is approximately 559 kilometers away from the surface of the earth in a "low earth orbit" which indicates that it is orbiting under 200 kilometers.
Galileo perfected the telescope in the early 17th century, significantly enhancing its design and magnification. He used this improved telescope to make groundbreaking astronomical observations, such as the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the detailed surface of the Moon. These discoveries provided strong support for the heliocentric model of the solar system, challenging the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
The invention of the telescope allowed scientists to observe celestial objects in more detail and from great distances. This led to major discoveries, such as Galileo observing moons orbiting Jupiter and Kepler studying the movements of the planets. Telescopes continue to advance our understanding of the universe through observations across different wavelengths of light.
Mars
Visible light.
On the surface of the moon, you can see various features such as craters, mountains, plains, and dark areas known as maria. These features are visible to the naked eye, without the need for a telescope.
