Which of the following is not a reason that astronomers have trouble viewing distant stars?
Distant stars give off less light
Who first realized that stars were distant suns?
an ancient greek philosipher named Aristotle first developed the theory that stars were distant suns
The visible part of distant galaxies is the galaxies'?
Stars
What objects in space emit or reflect light?
sun, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and meteors
Do we see stars in the sky because they reflect the sun's light?
No. The stars are distant suns that emit their own light.
Instrument used to gaze the stars?
A telescope lets you see distant objects.
What Instrument used for seeing stars and planets is?
Telescope
What is the main use of the telescope?
to see a distant objects..like stars..
When was Distant Stars created?
Distant Stars was created in 1981.
How many pages does Distant Stars have?
Distant Stars has 352 pages.
Why do people say looking at stars is like looking in the past?
Because the speed of light is finite (around 186,000 miles per second) and the stars are so distant, it takes a long time for the light to reach the telescope from the stars - at least 4.2 years. Many objects are millions of light years distant, meaning that what we see in the sky is from the distant past.
What does the brain receive from the 2 eyes in the case of distance judgment?
Near object form bigger angle and distant objects form smaller angle. From this angle formed, you can judge the distance between near and distant objects. But their is limit to the smallest angle, you can perceive. That is why you can not note difference between the near and distant stars.
Why do stars appear distant if you supposedly only see the light that they emit?
All sight its based on the light that objects either emit, reflect, or refract. The stars are little different in this regard. We judge distance using a number of different cues, a number of which indicate that the stars are far away.More distant objects will tend to appear smaller. The stars appear small.Any object that blocks a portion of the sky will block the stars from view, so we know the stars are more distant than those objects.When we move, objects we are looking at appear to change position relative to us. The farther away they are, the smaller the change. No matter how much we move there is no apparent change in the position of the stars, meaning they must be very far away.Indeed, the stars are much farther away than they appear to be as we are not able to perceive such distances directly.
What cause changes in the light coming from distant stars and galaxies?
The apparent redshift is caused by the Doppler Effect; the frequency of waves is increased by an approaching source and decreased by a leaving source. Since the fgrequencies we see from stars are slightly lower than they should be, we know that the stars and other objects are moving away. The Doppler Effect causes changes of light emanating from distant stars and galaxies.
Which of the following is not a reason that astronomers have trouble viewing distant stars?
Distant stars give off less light
Is a solar system made up of stars and objects that surround it?
Our solar system is made up of one star - the Sun - and everything held in orbit around it. Some distant stars have been determined to have planetary objects surrounding them, too, but there is still more unknown about those than known.
What instruments use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects?
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.
