The telescope's purpose is for scientists to be able to look into space and see what stars are made of and what the cycle of stars is. Some telescopes are public and anyone can look through them. But others are only for scientists. The telescope was invented by Galileo Galilei. You can see his finger in his very own museum! :0)
What else can I help you with?
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
Do astronomers or nasa use refracting telescopes?
Yes, both of them. And they also use reflecting telescopes.
What are the tools scientist use observe objects in the night sky?
Scientists use telescopes, such as optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and space telescopes, to observe objects in the night sky. They also use instruments like spectrographs and cameras to analyze the light from celestial objects and gather data for research and study.
What are the largest telescopes used for observations in the visible region of the spectrum?
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
What tool do astronomers use to study space?
they use space probes,satellites,and of coarse,telescopes.
What are the largest telescopes used for observations in the visible region of the spectrum called?
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
Is refracting telescopes bigger then reflecting telescopes?
Not necessarily. Refracting telescopes can be large, but reflecting telescopes can also be quite large and often have larger apertures due to their design. The size of a telescope depends on its purpose and design specifications rather than whether it is refracting or reflecting.
What do astronomers use to look at planets?
Their eyes, ground-based telescopes, space telescopes.
Do telescopes use energy?
Yes. It takes energy to move them in the correct direction. In home telescopes, this is done by hand (energy from your muscles), in large telescopes they use some kind of motors to do that.
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to gather and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes tend to be more compact and easier to support larger apertures, making them popular for professional astronomical research. Additionally, reflecting telescopes are less affected by chromatic aberration compared to refracting telescopes.
Can you provide an explanation of different telescope types?
There are two main types of telescopes: refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes. Refracting telescopes use lenses to gather and focus light, while reflecting telescopes use mirrors. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, but both are used to observe distant objects in space.
