What else can I help you with?
Why did it take so long for good telescopes to be developed?
because xcvi was invented .......;;;;;;;;0000):)")PP)
How long has the telescope been around?
The invention of the telescope is generally attributed to Hans Lippershey in 1608. The first practical telescopes were developed by Galileo Galilei in 1609. So, telescopes have been around for over 400 years.
How would your knowledge of the universe be different if telescopes had not been developed?
we wouldn't know about any other planet besides the sun
What telescope doesn't use visual light?
Scientists have developed a number of radio, infrared, ultraviolet, and X-ray telescopes.
Did ancient Egyptian astronomers have telescopes?
No, ancient Egyptian astronomers did not have telescopes. They relied on naked-eye observations of the sky and developed impressive astronomical knowledge and calendars based on these observations. Telescopes were not invented until much later in history.
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
State the difference between optical and non-optical telescopes?
Optical measures visible light, Radio measures electromagnetic radiation in that part of the spectrum corresponding to radio waves. Same with X-ray telescopes and x-rays. Optical is the kind you look through.
Most telescopes are telescopes?
refracting
Which italian scientist born in the 16th developed telescopes and used then to make revolutionary observations about your solar system?
None of them. The first telescopes were developed in 1608 by three Dutch opticians. You may have been thinking of Galileo, who built his telescope based on their descriptions, and who may have been the first person to use a telescope to observe the stars. His observations of Jupiter the following year did revolutionize astronomy.
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).
