Unfortunately, no matter how large of a telescope you have, stars will always appear as pinpoints of light. Even the largest professional telescopes are not able to resolve stars as discs. However, if it's a dim star that one is trying to detect, it is true that a telescope with a larger diameter main objective (a mirror in the case of a reflector or a lens in the case of a refractor) will produce a brighter image of the star than one with a smaller main objective. Larger lenses and mirrors gather more light. The light-gathering ability of a telescope depends on the area of its main objective. Since the area of a circular objective varies as the radius squared (area = pi * radius^2), doubling the radius of the objective will quadruple the area of the objective, and therefore the light-gathering ability.
What else can I help you with?
Are Stars cold and make light?
Stars make their own light, but they are not cold. Stars are extremely hot. We do not feel their heat because they are incredibly distant.
What are the benefits of using a dog reflector for nighttime walks?
Using a dog reflector for nighttime walks can help increase visibility and safety for both you and your dog. The reflector can make it easier for drivers and pedestrians to see you both in low light conditions, reducing the risk of accidents.
Does the medium of space make distance stars appear to be more red shifted only because they are farther away?
Distant stars appear red shifted because they are travelling away from Earth. It just happens that more distant stars are moving faster, so there is a greater red-shift the further a star is from the Earth.
Is the stars that make up a constellation are near each other?
Not necessarily. Stars within a constellation are the same general direction from Earth, but one may be much more distant than the other.

Why are stars distant from one another?
Actually the typical distances between stars vary a lot. Inside a globular cluster, you can have a million stars or so, which are much closer together than in our region.If you ask "Why are they distant from one another in our region of the galaxy", I would say that that can POSSIBLY be answered by the anthropic principle: if stars are much closer together, the conditions MIGHT be catastrophic, and make it difficult for life to survive.
What game can you get the most stars from in Innerstar University?
you can get the most stars at the higher levels at any game. Its easier to get more stars at games your good at. Also, cupcake crazy does not give more stars for the more cupcakes you make. It is only 5 stars each cupcake unless you make them repitively.
What is echo time?
It could either be the time of travel of echo from reflector to source, or the round-trip from source to reflector and back to source - you'd have to make clear which in the context you are describing.
Why you can not differentiate between near and distant Star by naked eyes?
You have two eyes, away from each by about 6 cm. The object placed nearby makes a larger angle to both eyes as compared to distant object. From that angle, you make out the distance of the object from you. Stars are too far away for human eyes (or any animal eyes, for that purpose.) to make smaller or bigger angle. They all make the smallest possible angle witch can be recognized by naked eyes and so you can not differentiate between near or distant star. All of them are distant objects for human eyes.
How is a bicycle reflector helpful?
Not all of them are. Usually there's a white reflector aimed forward, yellow/orange ones aimed sideways and a red one aimed backwards. The different colors are used to make it possible to see from the reflection only which direction the bike is pointing/heading.
Is a bicycle reflector a source of light?
No, a bicycle reflector is not a source of light on its own. It works by reflecting light from other sources, such as car headlights, to make the bicycle more visible in low-light conditions.
Why aren't stars between Earth and the moon?
A star is too large to fit between the earth and the moon and/or so massive that it would tear apart the earth and moon before it got there. If there were a star between the earth and the moon, there would be nobody around to know it.
