Astronomers used to make photographic plates of stars on glass, and compare the images in a device known as a "blinker." If a star moved between two separate exposures, it was clearly NOT a star but an asteroid or comet.
Today we gather light on digital plates and stack images. Computers do much of the analysis in searching for interplanetary bodies. In addition, computer technology is used to measure variations in starlight on board the Kepler spacecraft. These variations reveal the presence of new worlds. Five new worlds (exoplanets) were announced earlier this year, and Kepler astronomers are expected to announce the discover of 700 more within the next few months--more than doubling the currently known number.
Computers are probably the biggest. Optical telescopes are 19th century technology, and radio telescopes were pretty well developed by the 1960's. Computers and electronic communications have been the biggest improvements since then.
Robot technology is now doing the lion's share of exploratory work both within our solar system and beyond. The amount of information sent back to scientists on earth from space probes and the Hubble Space Telescope will take years to sift through - and there are ever more probe missions and a new space telescope coming up.
They use a huge range of telescopes, from simple ones that you could have in your home, to massive ones that are located around the world in areas where there are regular clear skies. They use technology to examine light and listen for sounds from space. They use computers a lot. They use radar and other communications technology. They use a lot of photographic technology and technology for protecting themselves, like covers for lenses on telescopes studying the sun. They use all this and much more.
Materials include telescopes, satellites, spectroscopes, and space probes.
Yes, of course they do. How could they study space without it?
They watch stars' orbit an empty, black void. Using this method they can also tell how far and big the Black Hole is.
In May 25, 1986, for the first time in space exploration, astronomers had uncovered a remarkable technology. They used flashlights, matches with candles, and sometimes a lighter.
Any of the visual organs of early man.Saturn has been known since man first looked up into the sky and saw bright spots of light moving across the sky.See related question for more information.
Telescopes, spectroscopy, and a "Voyager" space probe.
The Cassini--Huygens space probe will be used to study the planet Saturn and it's respective satellites .
Astronology is the study of the moon, stars and other objects in space.

what are instruments or technology are used to study active volcanoes?How do these tools work?Which are used when the volcano is quiet or dormant?

Space shuttles, telescopes and more
Satellite technology is used to study planets and to watch television.

base on my observation we use satellite to study space to learn more. when we study the space we can study about meteors,planets,gadgets we are using ton explore,about the sun.
