Telescopes are often located in deserts because deserts offer very dry and clear atmospheric conditions, which are ideal for observing celestial objects. The dry air minimizes atmospheric distortion, providing astronomers with clearer and more detailed images of the night sky. Additionally, deserts have fewer artificial lights, reducing light pollution that can interfere with astronomical observations.

How do astronomers solve the problems with earth based telescopes?
Astronomers can address issues with Earth-based telescopes by using adaptive optics to correct for atmospheric distortion, selecting observing sites at high altitudes or in deserts with stable air, and designing telescopes with larger mirrors to gather more light and improve image resolution. Additionally, they can employ techniques like interferometry to combine light from multiple telescopes for enhanced resolution.
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
What are reflecting and refracting telescopes designed for?
Light is found by reflecting telescopes and refracting telescopes are used to dected sound
When was Obsession Telescopes created?
Obsession Telescopes was created in 1989.
When was The Smell of Telescopes created?
The Smell of Telescopes was created in 2000.
Why do people put telescopes in a desert?
Deserts usually have little cloud cover and humidity, both of which interfere with visibility. Most telescopes are located far from cities so there is little light pollution.
What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes

Most telescopes are telescopes?
refracting
Are optical telescopes much bigger then radio telescopes?
No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.
How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What are the major types of optical telescopes?
Ground-based telescopes, and space telescopes. Or: refracting telescopes (main collector is a lens), and reflecting telescopes (main collector is a mirror). Or: Home telescopes (small ones), and professional ones (larger and more expensive).
Where are telescopes generally found?
At a store for telescopes!
Are space telescopes manned or unmanned satellites?
All space telescopes are unmanned - unless you want to count the small telescopes on the Shuttle or IIS as space telescopes.
What have telescopes found out?
telescopes have found out that im AWESOME
How are refraction telescopes and reflecting telescopes similar?
they the same
