What are facts about telescopes?
Telescopes are used to see things that are farther than we expected a thing to be.Telescopes are not only small.They can be big as well.
How are telescopes used in astronomy?
Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
Why do you keep some telescopes in space?

How long have humans used telescopes?
We know the telescope was invented by 1608 and soon many people, for example Galileo, were using telescopes. There is some evidence of earlier telescopes, but we aren't certain about that. So, humans have been using telescopes for about 400 years.
Which layers of the Sun can be seen with some type of telescope?
The photosphere can be seen with visible-light telescopes, while the chromosphere is most easily observed with ultraviolet telescopes and the corona with X-ray telescopes.
Where do reflecting telescopes work best?
All telescopes work best in the vacuum of space. Aside from that, "where" really is not a great factor compared to other types of telescopes. The distinct advantage of some reflecting telescopes is that they don't suffer from chromatic aberration like refractors do.
What have telescopes discovered and found out?
Telescopes have helped discover many things in space that are not visible such as some of the outer planets of our solar system.
Why do you need to put some telescopes in space?
Telescopes on Earth have to look through the atmosphere (air) which distorts the image. Telescopes in space dont have to look through the atmosphere and so the image is a lot clearer.
where are telescopes kept?
Telescopes are typically housed in observatories, which can be located in remote areas to minimize light pollution and atmospheric disturbances. They may also be found in research institutions, universities, and even some private homes. Many modern telescopes, especially space telescopes like the Hubble, are placed in orbit to avoid Earth's atmospheric interference. Additionally, some portable telescopes are kept by amateur astronomers for personal use.
Why do astronomers currently prefer orbiting telescopes over earth based telescopes?
Orbiting telescopes are located in the sky, where it is not affected by the turbulence of the atmosphere, while ground-based telescopes are located on the ground, where the atmospheric turbulence (the moving of air) is greater. This is also the reason that some telescopes are built on mountains where the atmosphere is thinner and turbulence is smaller.
What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes
What were some inventions in the 1600s?
different types of telescopes and the barometer
