* By making them bigger.* By compensating for atmospheric disturbance, with something called adaptive optics.

Why does the HST get better pictures than a telescope earth?

The Hubble Space Telescope doesn't get affected by the Earth's Atmosphere. It also has the advantage of being in space so the quality and variety of images are a lot greater then any optical telescopes on Earth.


Why are most large telescopes reflecting telescopes?

They are refracting telescopes(:Large refracting telescopes are no longer built because there were too many problems with them. There was color distortion, light pollution, and when the object hits the focal point it turns upside down. Then you don't see the object for what it really is, you see it upside down and weird-ed out. They are to complicated and scientists believed they should just stick with the simple, small, original refracting telescopes!!!!-Meghan Betts (8th grader)


How much will the RadioShack Digital Optical Cable Connector improve the picture on my Sony 42" Plasma?

The RadioShack Digital Optical Cable Connector is a high quality component which is designed to transfer a signal that is 100% identical to the source material, so you will be seeing a perfect recreation of your input feed.

Why is a digital zoom worse than an optical zoom?

The reason an optical zoom is better to have than a digital zoom boils down to quality. When one uses an optical zoom the subject is brought in closer without losing quality. When a digital zoom is used, the camera crops and digitally enlarges the picture, sacrificing quality.


What quality of a material affects how much it refracts light?

Its optical density.


Which type of telescope is most similar to an optical telescope?

No. The Hubble Space Telescope is an optical telescope of the reflective type. A 'non optical' telescope would be one that works on different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum below or above the optical wavelengths.

Why are most modern telescopes reflecting telescopes?

A reflecting telescope is much easier to build than a refracting telescope and consequently is much less expensive. A reflecting telescope uses a concave mirror to collect and concentrate starlight and send it to your eye, whereas a refracting telescope uses a series of lenses to do the same thing. Optical quality lenses are much more expensive (and heavier) than a well-made mirror. For a given amount of money, much larger reflecting telescope can be built than a refracting. For very large telescopes, the lenses needed would be enormous and next to impossible to make optically perfect. Consequently, most telescopes are reflecting.
