Why do you use only two types of telescopes here on earth optical or radio telescopes?
Radiation other than light and radio waves hardly penetrates Earth's atmosphere.
How is a supernova detected?
Supernovae are very violent events resulting at the "death" of a star. Typically, they are detected by the very large amounts of radiation energies they release. Supernovae release beams of X-ray and Gamma radiation which instruments like telescopes and special satellites near Earth can detect. The creation of one also releases a great amount of visible light (unlike something like a black hole, for example, which is impossible to see with the naked eye but releases enormous amounts of other radiation that are obvious to special observation equipment).
Why are reflecting and fefracting telescopes classified as optical telescopes?
"Optical" simply means that they work with visible light - as opposed to other EM radiation (radio waves, x-rays, etc.); gravitational waves; etc.
Have you found any other planets bigger than Jupiter?
No, but some telescopes have detected larger planets orbiting other suns. There are larger planets than Jupiter for they are called Super Jupiters
Methods that are used to explore the universe?
The universe can be explored by astronomical instruments called telescopes, and by space probes sent from earth to other planets. When using telescopes astronomers try to look at the energy being produced by the universe not just in the visible part of the spectrum (where our eyes can see) but at the whole range of electromagnetic radiation. We thus have radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, X-ray telescopes and even some telescopes that are buried deep underground looking for neutrinos. Most of the telescopes are set in mountains for they can rich more.
What do most telescopes collect?
Light, or some other electromagnetic radiation such as x-rays, radio waves, etc. CW: That is a good answer. I would have guessed dust.
Is there any cancer treatment?
radiation treatment of cancer or other kinds of treatments can be used for cancer.
Does radiation involve heat passing through particles?
Heat doesn't pass through particles. On an atomic or sub-atomic level, heat is the speed with which the particles are either vibrating or moving. Some kinds of radiation are related to the temperature of the particles that emit the radiation, other kinds are not.
Where is the cosmic rays radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?
Cosmic rays are not part of the EM spectrum -- they are high energy charged particles.
Are celestron telescopes reflecting telescopes?
They have many other different types of telescopes than just reflecting!!!! I have a refracting telescope myself. They also have other things like binoculars and microscopes
What is the name of the other telescopes?
Microscopes?
Explain how astronomers use electromagnetic radiation to study space?
Electromagnetic radiation is "light." Light in various wavelengths (gamma rays through to infrared) comes to us from out in space, and astronomers use instruments called telescopes to capture it and observe the bodies and processes emitting this light.
