Something you can look through to see way up in the sky for example to see the moon in more detail or a star or something

Venus can be seen with a telesecope, or even just with your eyes.

Who invented the refracting telesope?

The refracting telescope was invented by Dutch eyeglass maker Hans Lippershey in the early 17th century. His design used a combination of lenses to magnify distant objects.


Why is the Hubble Space Telesope helpful to astronomy?

The Hubble Space Telescope is the greatest telescope ever built. It's important because it takes pictures far out into the galaxy so astronomers can study them. BTW I want to be an astronomer.


Why does the hubble space telesope produce clearer images than those on earth?

The main reason is that it orbits high above Earth's atmosphere which is responsible for the blurring of high-resolution images. Additionally, HST is equipped with hi-tec systems for compensating its own movement, orbiting at 559 km above Earth at 27,000 km per hour. Moreover, many of the fascinating images are composites made at different wavelengths, allowing individual exposures that are perfectly suited for the respective part of the spectrum.


What tool is used to observe constellations?

All you have to know is who Galileo Galilei is. He is a man from thousands of years ago who studied space. I really don't know. I'm in 5 grade and this is what we are learning. Well, yo momma will tell ya


Why cant you see the other planets in the night sky?

You can see 5 other planets with your naked eyes IF they are in the night sky. (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Under ideal conditions Uranus can be just made out if you have exceptional eyesight.) you dont know that??? the sky is big and the clouds are not realy little but with a telescope you see it if you want to see the planets buy a telesope


When can you see the hubble space telesope from earth?

Yes. It's visible during the first couple of hours after sunset, and the first couple of hours before sunrise,IF you know exactly when and where to look.If you see it, it looks like a star moving quite slowly.Take a look on < Heavens-Above.com > .You put in your location, and the site tells you where and when several objects will be visible from your location.


How did Galileo galilei inspire Isaac newton?

Copernicus put forward a new theory of the planets that put the Sun at the centre, with the Earth orbiting round it just like all the other five known planets. This challenged the old Ptolemaic system and it also challenged the church's teaching, which worried Copernicus and his book 'De Revolutionibus' was not published until the year he died, 1543.Galielo took up the Copernican theory after observing the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus with his telescope, which he believed showed a fault in the Ptolemaic system. He started a dispute about the Copernican system with the catholic church authorities, and was eventually forced to recant for lack of enough proper evidence supporting it at that time.Kepler took part of the Copernican system, the part that puts the Sun at the centre, and produced a new model based on observations made by Tycho Brahe with unprecedented accuracy. The planets were now in elliptical orbits following Kepler's three laws, published in 1609. These were based entirely on observations and he had no idea why the planets followed his laws.In 1687 Newton had done a lot of theoretical work and published his famous 'Principia' in which he described the laws of motion and the newly discovered differential calculus, as well as the inverse-square law of gravity. He was able to use these to show by detailed mathematics that an object in orbit round a massive object, under the force of gravity, must follow an elliptical orbit, with the massive object at one focus, just as Kepler had found for the planets.So the main line of development goes from Copernicus to Kepler and then Newton. Galileo helped in two ways: first by making new discoveries with the telesope that raised doubts about the old Ptolemaic sysem, without actually proving the Copernican system; and also he raised awareness of the whole question by starting a dispute with the Catholic authorities, and that served to put the whole debate into the public domain in a big way.


Why is there only 8 planets?

For something to be a planet it has to fit under a certain definitionA planet in our Solar System must:be in orbit around the Sunhave sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape)have "cleared the neighbourhood" around its orbit, meaning no large pieces of debris lie in its wayOnly eight objects in our solar system fit this description. There used to be nine planets (including Pluto) but since astronomers revised the definition of a planet Pluto does not meet the last requirement and is no longer a true planet. Instead it is classified as dwarf planet.
