Do optical telescopes allow us to study the visibal light radiated from stars?
optical telescopes help scientist find out more about space and to look at the sun without the eyes burning!!
Why would bigger telescopes allow us to discover more objects?
why can't you answer the questions........why did you name that website answers.com
Instruments used by scientists that allow them to look at objects more closely are called?
microscopes
Why do astronomers continue to build even larger telescopes?
Radio telescopes allow us to see things that can't be seen in visible light. And vice versa, optical telescopes can show things that are not visible in radio telescopes. So, the information from both kinds of telescopes really complements each other.
How is a microscope an example of a technological design?
The design uses refraction of the objective lens to form an image. This image is then observed with a second lens to allow the eye to see it. Except for the types of lenses used the same principle is used in optical telescopes and binoculars.
Are black series telescopes a good telescope to buy for seeing different plantes?
Black series telescopes are good telescopes to buy for seeing different planets. They allow a clear view for stargazing.
Do periscopes allow you to see hidden objects?
No, periscopes allow you to observe objects while you are hidden.
What advantage do reflecting telescopes hAve over refracting telescopes?
One advantage of reflecting telescopes is that the mirrors can be very big. Large mirrors allow reflecting telescopes to gather more light than refracting telescopes do. Another advantage is that curved mirrors are polished on their curved side, which prevents light from entering the glass. Thus any flaws in the glass do not affect the light. A third advantage is that mirrors can focus all colors of light to the same focal point. Therefore, reflecting telescopes allow all colors of light from an object to be seen in focus at the same time.
Why do observatories have dome that can opened and turned?
Most optical telescopes are housed within a dome or similar structure, to protect the delicate instruments from the elements. Telescope domes have a slit or other opening in the roof that can be opened during observing, and closed when the telescope is not in use. In most cases, the entire upper portion of the telescope dome can be rotated to allow the instrument to observe different sections of the night sky. Radio telescopes usually do not have domes.

What do microarrays allow scientists to do?
With a micro array , scientists can examine how active thousands of genes are.
What do microwaves have to do with astronomy?
When examining the universe at optical wavelengths you tend to see bright spots (stars/galaxies) with huge expanses of black inbetween. However, at microwave wavelengths you see a background glow, known as the cosmic microwave background. This is a relic from the very early universe and can tell scientists a considerable amount about the early structure of the universe.
