What type of telescope is most often used to view distant objects?

Reflecting telescopes are far-and-away the most common. This is because the telescope can be smaller and lighter, and because lenses always absorb a little light while mirrors can be almost perfect reflectors.

Describe two key aspects of quasars?
Bright, distant, powerful, energetic, at the center of the galaxy.
Are Negritos African?
No. Negritos are the most genetically distant from Africans.
According to Hubble's Law the most distant clusters of galaxies are?
The basic idea of Hubble's Law is that galaxies (or galaxy clusters) that are farther away move away from us faster than those that are closer to us.The most distant galaxy yet found is a protogalaxy with the designation UDFj-39546284, with a redshift z = 11.9, about 13.42 billion light-years distant from the Milky Way.In case you are asking for the most distant CLUSTER of galaxies, and not the most distant astronomical galaxy, the answer would be the cluster (or protocluster, science is not yet sure about the nature of this structure) which denomination is BoRG-58 , with a redshift z≅8, and about 12 billion light-years distant from us.
When was the moon mapped and who by?
Galileo is often credited with being the first person to look through a telescope and make drawings of the celestial objects he observed. While the Italian indeed was a pioneer in this realm, he was not the first. That honor belongs to Thomas Harriot, an Englishman, who bought his first telescope shortly after its invention in the Netherlands and made a sketch of the moon as seen through it in July of 1609. Also a map of the Moon, ten times older than any other known, has been found carved into stone at one of Ireland's most ancient and mysterious Neolithic sites.
What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescope you are?
The Hubble telescope is in space so it doesn't have a problem with atmospheric distortion. Therefore The Hubble telescope get's a much clearer picture than any normal land telescope which gets a less clear a picture because of water vapour and diffraction of light.
What object can detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?
The Radio Telescope
Which instrument has been to detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?
the radio telescope
Which instrument has been used to detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?
the radio telescope
What Instrument used for seeing stars and planets is?
Telescope
What Instrument that makes small distant objects visible?
That sounds like the description of a telescope. However, please note that the distance objects need not be "small"; a galaxy, for example, is incredibly large, but most galaxies are so far away that we can still not see them without the help of a telescope.
What is the use of a telescope celestron?
A telescope collects electromagnetic radiation to view objects far away. A telescope is a device used to observe remote objects and used in the study of astronomy. The first telescope was made in the 1600's..
What most you use to make distant star appeAr closer?
Telescope or Binoculars.
What does a refracting telescope do for astronomy?
It allows observation of distant objects without the diffraction spikes caused by the support devices used in most multiple mirror telescopes. More detail can usually be made out.
What are the most distant objects in your solar system?
The most distant objects in the Solar System are probably comets. However, as that region of space has not been explored, there could be anything out there, even another planet.
What are two keys aspects of quasars?
There the most brightest and distant objects.
Describe two key aspects of quasars?
Bright, distant, powerful, energetic, at the center of the galaxy.
Which is the most distant planet you can easily see without a telescope?
If you know exactly where to look, you can see Uranus, but it looks like a very faint star. Saturn is the most distant one you can see easily.
