Galileo was the first astronomer to describe surface features of the?
Galileo was the first astronomer to describe surface features of the moon.
What are the two observation that Galileo made?
Galileo looked at the sun and observed dark blemishes on its surface (which are now called sunspots). From the movement of these blemishes, he was able to determine that the sun has a rotation period of about one month.
What did Galileo discover about the earth's moon?
he made a telescope, made it look at images 20x closer. He looked at the Jupiter and then saw the four moons and called them the "Galilean Moons".
Which telescope would best be able to pierce through the Earth's atmosphere and function on the surface of the Earth?
A radio telescope.
How can the surface of Venus' be observed with?
Radar has been used to map the surface of Venus
How did the invention of the telescope contribute to the knowledge of the moon surface?
Galileo's invention helped people see the craters and maria on the moon's surface.
How did the invention of the telescope contribute to our knowledge of the moons surface?
Galileo's invention helped people see the craters and maria on the moon's surface.
Did Galileo Galilee make the telescope?
Yes, although primitive, it was strong enough to see some parts of the surface of the moon.
What feature of the moon did Galileo identify?
Galileo correctly inferred that some of the light-colored features he saw on the moons surface were highlands, or mountains.(:
What is a maria in scientific terms?

Why doesnt the surface of a radio telescope have to be as flawless as the surface of a mirror in an optical telescope?
The surface of a radio telescope doesn't have to be as flawless as the surface of an optical telescope because the radio telescope is collecting radio waves, something that will not be affected by faults in the glass. Optical telescopes, on the other hand, are collecting light, where faults in the surface can interfere with the image.
Galileo was the first astronomer to describe surface features of the?

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.
