Why do astronomers have to move their telescopes when observing thr stars?

Astronomers move their telescopes to track celestial objects as they appear to move across the night sky due to the Earth's rotation. This motion allows for continuous observation and data collection without losing sight of the target. Additionally, positioning telescopes in different locations can help minimize atmospheric interference and light pollution, enhancing the quality of observations.


Why do astronomers move their telescopes when observing the sky?

To compensate for the motion of the Earth in order to observe a fixed object, such as a distant star. Relative to the Earth, distant objects do not move, but the Earth rotates and orbits the sun, thus all objects appear to move relative to a fixed point on the Earth. Therefore telescopes (which are fixed points) must move to compensate for this motion.


When you move can you write this off on your taxes?

That actually depends upon the reason for the move. If your employer changed location and you had to move in order to be able to continue to do your job, then the move is a business expense. If you moved because you wanted to live in a larger house (for example) then that is not a deductible expense.
