What else can I help you with?
Large telescopes are often housed where?
Large telescopes are often housed in observatories located in remote and high-altitude areas to minimize light pollution and atmospheric interference. These locations provide clearer skies and better visibility for astronomical observations.
What is the remotest airport in the world?
remote airports mean the airport in some large distance remote areas like islands,undeveloped areas. most distant areas
Why have no large refracting telescopes been built since 1900?
Refracting telescopes suffer from chromatic aberration, refracting telescopes have several surfaces to shape and polish, making large glass lenses without interior defects is very difficult, and large glass lenses are more difficult to support than large mirrors.
What receptor is used to observe very large areas of the sky simultaneously?
The receptors known as a telescopes can view large parts of the sky all at once. These receptical telescopes are usually much bigger than whole houses.
What radio astronomy?
That refers to researching the Universe by observing radio waves. Special telescopes - radiotelescopes - are built for this purpose; they are often quite large.
Why are nuclear power stations built in remote areas away from cities?
Nuclear power stations are typically built in remote areas to minimize the risk to large populations in case of an accident or radioactive release. The distance from urban centers also helps mitigate the potential for environmental contamination and ensures that emergency response efforts can be more effectively managed. Additionally, remote locations often provide access to necessary resources, such as water for cooling, and reduce land use conflicts with residential or commercial developments.
Why aren't infrared telescopes built at low altitudes?
Infrared telescopes are usually built at high altitudes to minimize atmospheric interference. At lower altitudes, the Earth's atmosphere absorbs and scatters infrared light, making it difficult to observe astronomical objects accurately. By placing telescopes at high altitudes, such as on mountain peaks, scientists can minimize the interference and obtain clearer observations of infrared radiation from space.
How are radio telescopes different from keck telescopes?
Keck telescopes do not exist, Keck telescope refers to the WM Keck Observatory on Mt. Kea.The Keck Observatory is comprised of several opticalreflecting telescopes, whereas aradio telescope consists of a large parabolic solid metal or screen reflector with a radioreceiver at its focus, built to detect and measure radio waves.
What is the 7 letter word starting in O to describe large remote and open areas of Australia?
Outback
Why are most large telescopes reflecting telescopes?
They are refracting telescopes(:Large refracting telescopes are no longer built because there were too many problems with them. There was color distortion, light pollution, and when the object hits the focal point it turns upside down. Then you don't see the object for what it really is, you see it upside down and weird-ed out. They are to complicated and scientists believed they should just stick with the simple, small, original refracting telescopes!!!!-Meghan Betts (8th grader)
Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having what?
Two large objective lenses.
Why big telescopes?
Large telescopes have improved resolution over small telescopes and as such can gather clearer images of objects further away.
