There are several astronomical telescopes in orbit.
The most famous is of course the Hubble, but COROT, MOST, and the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Observer are all visible light telescopes in orbit around Earth, and there's another - Kepler - that doesn't orbit Earth, but does orbit the Sun.
There are also a multitude of orbital telescopes that use segments of the electromagnetic spectrum other than visible. Spitzer, for example, uses infrared light (it's another solar orbiter).
What else can I help you with?
Where can one purchase astronomical telescopes?
Many companies sell astronomical telescopes for purchasing. Companies that sell this product include Amazon, Orion Telescopes & Binoculars, and Young Explorers.
Who built and used reflecting telescopes?
Thousands of people still do build their own astronomical telescopes; it isn't that hard to do.
What is better Reflecting or refracting telescopes?
The most serious astronomical research, such as that done by the Hubble Space Telescope, is done with reflecting telescopes.
What is A place at which stars are studied with the help of telescopes?
An "observatory".
Can spectroscopes be put in space or on Earth or both?
All major astronomical telescopes are equipped with spectrographs, including the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes.
What has the author George McHardie written?
George McHardie has written: 'Preparation of mirrors for astronomical telescopes' -- subject(s): Reflecting telescopes, Mirrors
What is the name of the place that uses telescopes and other scientific equipment?
Observatory or astronomical observatory.
Do Professional astronomical telescopes generally have a much greater magnification than the telescopes you can buy in stores?
Yes, professional astronomical telescopes typically have greater magnification capabilities compared to telescopes sold in stores. This allows astronomers to observe celestial objects with greater detail and clarity. Professional telescopes also have larger apertures and specialized optics to gather more light and enhance image quality.
Do satellites have anything to do with astronomy?
Yes, there are telescopes aboard many satellites that perform astronomical observations.
Why are x-ray telescopes and gamma - ray telescopes in space?
The earth's atmosphere doesn't let these rays reach the ground, so the telescopes are placed in orbit where they can receive the rays.
What do scientists use to look at astronomical bodies?
Telescopes and binoculars, although a lot can be seen with an unaided eye.
What is the difference between an astronomical telescope and a Galilean telescope?
A Galilean Telescope is also an Astronomical Telescope so it is just a subset of Astronomical Telescopes.
