What feature covers much of the Moon's surface and what did Galileo see when he observed this feature through the telescope?
many craters, mountains, and what Galileo referred to as 'seas'.
How many syllables in telescope?
There are three syllables in the word telescope.(Tel - e - scope).
What does a telescope reflect?
A reflecting telescope is an optical telescope which uses mirrors to bring the light to a focus. The first one was designed by Isaac newton.
What famous telescopes are in the US?
Of conventional Telescopes the 200 Inch reflector at Mount Palomar also c alled the Hale telescope(from its designer) is probaly the top tube. for produc tion models there was an all-aluminum 72 Inch reflector in an altazimuth mount which was made by the then Kaiser aluminum corporation and was exhibited in the science section of Disneyland for many years, perhap still around. it resembed a mamoth theodolite.
What is the element that reflects?
Many metals reflect.... Tin for example. But silicon is a reflector too.
When you use a radio telescope what happens?
You are receiving that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that radios use. It is a much lower frequency than visible light and can detect things that glow at much lower temperatures than stars ... such as gas clouds Many radio telescopes use the 'hydrogen line' at a wavelength of 21 cm. That is one of hydrogen's spectral lines, corresponding to a transition between two high energy levels in the hydrogen atom.
What are the features of the Skyquest XT8 telescope?
The Orion Skyquest XT8 has many unique features that make it one of the most popular telescopes. It has a larger than normal glass reflector, 8" reflector optics, stable base and comes with special software and accessories.
What telescope uses an antenna and receiver to study the stars?
A radio telescope has an antenna and a receiver to study the stars. Radio waves are part of the same radiation spectrum as light, and they are emitted by many celestial bodies. Analysis of radio emissions can give us information over and above what can be obtained from light.

Does a Space Telescope have an antenna?
Yes. Space telescopes require many radio antennas to transmit their observations back to Earth.
Is a satellite dish a form of radio telescope or antenna?
A radio telescope gathers and focuses radio waves, or electromagnetic waves outside the visual spectrum. A satellite telescope is sent outside the atmosphere to become a satellite of either the earth or sun, unless it is sent outside the solar system like the Voyager spacecraft. Many satellite telescopes carry several types of telescopes in one package to gather as much information as possible, like the Hubble.

many craters, mountains, and what Galileo referred to as 'seas'.
How many convex lenses does a refracting telescope have?
At least two, but may have many. Depends on the design of the telescope.
What do the surface features and their distribution on the moon's surface about its history?
Earth's shadow on the moon proved that earth wasn't flat. When galileo first turned his telescope to the moon, he found a surface scarred by craters and maria. Before that time, many people believed that all planetary bodies were "perfect" without surface features.
Disadvantages of infrared telescope?
The main disadvantage of a radio telescope is the poor resolution of the images they obtain. This isn't due to a flaw in the design, but in a limitation of the radio signals they observe. The longer the wavelength of light (radio waves are light!) the fuzzier the image you receive. In order to combat this, a larger telescope is needed. Radio telescopes are thus the largest astronomical telescopes, measuring hundreds of meters across (e.g. Arecibo radio telescope) or composed of many smaller dishes in large arrays of dozens of radio dishes (e.g. VLBA, Very Long Baseline Array). Another disadvantage is the amount of human generated noise can easily interfere with the telescopes, and is harder to isolate and shield than from light pollution, as it easily reaches beyond horizons and around terrain and obstacles. This can require remote observation sites. They also have many advantages, but that isn't the purpose of this question.
