A Telescope uses lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects. With the advancement in optical research we are capable to watch the stars and planets better than before. Our information about universe largely depend on telescopes.

What instruments use lenses or mirriors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
Telescope.
When can Ground-based radio telescopes can collect data from distant objects in space?
during the day or night and in any weather conditions.
Why do scientists use telescopes?
Telescopes collect electromagnetic radiation. This radiation may be at wavelengths that the human eye can not see thereby giving us images of the universe that would otherwise be invisible to us. With visible radiation the telescope gathers more light than can pass naturally through the pupil of the human eye and therefore concentrates the light allowing us to see fainter objects or to magnify and resolve features on distant objects. A telescope can also be used as a platform on which to attach other scientific instruments (such as spectrometers) allowing scientists to analyse the information about distant objects contained in the light from those objects.
What are two keys aspects of quasars?
There the most brightest and distant objects.
What is the main use of the telescope?

What instruments use lenses or mirriors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
Telescope.
Which optical device device uses mirrors and lenses to magnify images of distant objects?
A telescope can do that, but magnification is not its purpose.
When can Ground-based radio telescopes can collect data from distant objects in space?
during the day or night and in any weather conditions.
What is the definition of a telescope?
The word telescope is from the Greek words meaning "distant" and "viewing" (looking). The telescope is : 1.) An arrangement of lenses or mirrors or both that focuses visible light, permitting better observation of distant objects. 2.) Any of various devices, such as a radio telescope, similarly used to detect and observe distant objects by their emission, transmission, reflection, or other interaction with invisible radiation.
Why can you see any objects in mirrors?
Because mirrors have a reflective surface?
What objects use mirrors?
microscope
A sense that makes distant objects magnified?
Special curved lenses are used to make objects larger. It is a sense of scale and perception that makes distant objects magnified.
What are distant objects in space called?
astroids
What is meant by short sightedness?
The inability to see the distant objects is referred to as short sightedness.Short sightedness refer to the inability to see very distant objects.
What are some examples of concave mirrors?
Mirrors in flashlights and headlights, mirrors for shaving or make up. A mirror to make objects look bigger.

A person who cannot focus on distant objects has?
Nearsightedness.
