∙ 14y agoOn earth, light pollution and other things block how much we can see. Telescopes like the Hubble telescope, have an advantage as there is nothing stopping them fron getting a clear picture.

∙ 11y agoThey were put in orbit because they are above the atmosphere then and can take longtime exposure (several hours ...) at a very good quality.

∙ 12y agoMost UV is filtered out by the atmosphere, specifically the ozone layer. You have to get above that to detect weak UV sources.

∙ 9y agoThe earth's atmosphere doesn't let these rays reach the ground, so the telescopes are placed in orbit where they can receive the rays.

How do ultraviolet telescopes work?
X-ray telescopes collect the X-rays that are emitted from the sun, stars, and super novas in space using a series of curved lenses and an electronic eye.
How do you scientists explore the moon and planets in the solar system?
Telescopes, Space missions, probes all help scientists discover more about the moon.
Why should scientists continue to improve telescopes?
Mainly to gather more information from deeper into the vast amout of space
What are some ways that scientists are currently learning more about the solar system?
Scientists are currently using mirror telescopes in space that do not have to deal with light pollution and are more clear than lens telescopes to take pictures of the solar system. They are also using radio telescopes to try and discover extra terrestrial life.
What type of telescope detects energy that is outside of the visible spectrum?
There is a large amount of specific - NEW -information about the goings-on in the Cosmos. Each type of answer to this Question has a huge NASA project associated with it! Infra-red is IRAS, ultraviolet, radio waves, X-rays, Gamma-ray bursts - each has its own astounding collection of new discoveries.There are many telescopes that detect energy outside the visible spectrum. Some of the telescopes include infrared, Fresnel imagers, ultraviolet, and submillimetre telescopes.No, some telescopes are designed to work with ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, radio waves, or even gamma rays.Well several telescopes detect invisible em radiations.. terrestrial telescopes in clude all Radio telescopes.. also there are several space telescopes which make observations in the invisible region of the em spectrum. eg. Chandra x-ray telescope, XMM- Newton, even Hubble space telescope (UV region).
Why have scientists put ultraviolet infrared infrared gamma's and X ray telescopes in space?

What are the two ways scientists explore space?
light telescopes and radio telescopes whether installed on earth or on space vehicles
How do the scientists explore outer space?
By using robot space probes and telescopes
Optical telescopes allow scientists to study what from objects in space?
Light
What tools do scientists use from space to study space Why can they only be used from space?
telescopes because they are meant to look into space
What tools do scientists use to examine deep space?
reflecting and refracting telescopes
What do scientists use to study radio waves traveling through space?
Radio telescopes.
Why do scientists use telscopes?
well they use the telescopes so they can look in space some telescopes have helped people discover new planets

What do scientists use to look into space?
. X-Ray telescopes . Thermal Telescopes . Space Probes Im doing this in school now, and im only 14 so i ain't that intelegent but hope this helps
