What else can I help you with?
How many miles above earth is the Hubble telescope?
The HST orbits at 569 km or 353 miles above Earth.
How many galaxies can be seen from space not using a telescope?
From Earth, it is possible to see three galaxies with the naked eye: the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
What is the use of telescope?
many such as magnifyingThey take objects that are at a distance and magnify them using mirrors and/or lenses.the use of a telescope is so you can see in to space clearly
Can you see the flag on the moon from earth with a telescope?
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH ANY TELESCOPE, EVEN THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE ! http://www.rocketroberts.com/astro/flag_on_moon.htm Go to that link for a detailed, scientific answer as to why we cannot see it. The simple answer is we are way too far away !...........I'm sorry, but I am an astronomy major and the statement that we could not even see it with the hubble telescope is completely untrue. However, the answer is NO, you cannot see it from Earth, even with a powerfull telescope.
Who used a telescope to discover craters on the moon?
Many of the larger craters on the moon can be seen from earth without a telescope, so nobody discovered craters on the moon with a telescope.
What is an Earth telescope?
An Earth-bound telescope is merely a telescope located on Earth. This term is used to distinguish all of our normal telescopes on Earth from space telescopes or orbiting telescopes. The Hubble space telescope is the most famous space telescope, but there are many dozens of telescopes orbiting Earth which look at Earth or the Sun or other objects in space. Obviously, it is easier to construct an Earth-bound telescope and they can be bigger since getting a telescope into space requires a rocket and a lot more engineering and money. Space telescopes have the advantage of being outside the atmosphere and thus no atmosphere to diminish the quality of the image. For infrared telescopes there is the advantage of being in the cold environment of space where the interference from radiations of hot objects on Earth is absent. On the other hand, space telescopes are hard to repair and you can't really be there to look through them.
What are the advantages of an earth based telescope?
That means that the telescope is on planet Earth, as opposed to a planet in outer space, like the Hubble Telescope, the Planck Telescope, the Chandra Telescope, etc.It is a telescope based on our earth
How did Galileo support this theory after he invented the telescope?
Although Galileo's telescope was the first to be used for astronomical purposes, he didn't invent the telescope. A man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. Many people claimed to have invented the telescope however Hans Lipperhey was the only one to apply for a patent.
How do you see planet having many light years distance?
you can see planets but using telescope or the kepler mission or satellites, though if you are using a telescope, what you see is not how the planet is right now because of the speed of light. Even when you look in the mirror, you are seeing yourself, but in fact you are look at yourself which is a billionth of a second ago. Also the sun light, it takes 8 minutes for the sun light to hit the Earth.
Does a Space Telescope have an antenna?
Yes. Space telescopes require many radio antennas to transmit their observations back to Earth.
Why does light from stars arrive at a telescope as parallel rays?
Light from stars arrives at a telescope as parallel rays because stars are very far away compared to the size of a telescope's aperture. This distance makes the light rays effectively parallel when they reach the telescope, similar to how sunlight reaches Earth as parallel rays.
Why are the new planets called Kepler?
The new planets are named after the Kepler Space Telescope, which was a NASA mission that searched for exoplanets using the transit method. The telescope discovered thousands of exoplanets during its mission.
