Which technology can allow a single ground-based telescope to achieve images as sharp as those from the Hubble Space Telescope?
adaptive optics
The Hubble Space Telescope obtains higher-resolution images than most ground-based telescopes because it is?
Only because it gets no atmospheric interference, which most of the ground based telescopes do.
What problem does an earth - based telescope have that a space - based telescope does not have?
Atmospheric and environmental interference.
What determines the resolution of a ground-based telescope?
If by resolution, you mean the closest pair of stars that can be seen in a telescope, it is purely a function of the size of the mirror/lens. You can calculate it as 134÷D where D is the diameter expressed in mm or 4.5÷D where the diameter is expressed in inches. So for my 12 inch Meade Telescope the resolution is 4.5÷12=0.375 seconds
What problem does an earth - based telescope have that a space - baced telescope does not have?
Atmospheric and environmental interference.
Where did the world's highest ground-based telescope start functioning in May 2001?
puerto rico
In May 2001 where did the world's highest ground-based telescope start functioning?
Puerto Rico
Which is the highest ground based telescope situated in India?
The highest ground based telescope is situated at Leh in Ladakh.
Where did thd world's highest ground based telescope start functioning?
The highest land based optical telescope is on a lonely peak in the western Himalayas, at the Indian Astronomical Observatory, sitting 14,800 feet (4,517 meters) above sea level in the village of Hanle, India. It opened in January 2002.
Which technology can allow a single ground-based telescope to achieve images as sharp as those from the Hubble Space Telescope?
adaptive optics
Is the Hubble telescope better than a ground-based telescope?
yes, because it doesnt have the atmosphere in the way, the atmosphere distorts the images taken by ground based-telescopes because of the refraction of light. The hubbles telescope can provide clearer and more accurate images without this barrier in the way.
Can anyone tell me the name of a ground based telescope that looks at visible light?
The Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar has an aperture of 200 inches.
Which of the following is not an advantage the Hubble Space Telescope has over ground based telescopes?
It is closer to the stars
What is an advantage of using orbiting telescopes rather than ground based telescope?
There is no distortion from Earth's atmosphere.
The Hubble Space Telescope obtains higher-resolution images than most ground-based telescopes because it is?
Only because it gets no atmospheric interference, which most of the ground based telescopes do.
Why was the Hubble Telescope Founded?
The Hubble Space Telescope was developed (not "founded") because ground-based telescopes are limited because of atmospheric distortions, while a space telescope isn't affected by glare, clouds, rain, or weather.
Is the Chandra a space or land based telescope?
It is a space based XRAY telescope
