Oh, honey, for under $200, you're not going to find any fancy schmancy telescope that'll put the Hubble to shame. But hey, the Celestron 70mm Travel Scope and the Orion Observer II 70mm are solid budget picks for you amateur stargazers. Will they help you discover a new celestial body? Probably not, but they'll give you a decent peek at the neighbors.

Why were space telescopes invented?

The answer is very simple: ANY telescope on earth, under the best possible circumstances, is looking through earth's atmosphere. Imagine trying to see the fine detail in anything looking up at it from the bottom of a swimming pool. That's an earthbound telescope. The Hubble does not have any atmosphere affecting it's view - which gives it 20/20 or better vision. Earthbound telescopes? 20/40 on their very best nights, usually more like 20/60.


How can telescopes be used in scientific research to study distant celestial objects and phenomena?

Telescopes are used in scientific research to study distant celestial objects and phenomena by collecting and focusing light from these objects. This allows scientists to observe and analyze the properties of stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial bodies. Telescopes can also detect different types of radiation, such as infrared or ultraviolet, which provide valuable information about the composition and behavior of these objects. By studying the light emitted or reflected by distant celestial objects, scientists can gain insights into their structure, evolution, and interactions with other objects in the universe.


What two regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are best utilized by ground based astronomers?

Ground based astronomers utilize the optical and radio regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Optical wavelengths provide high-resolution images of celestial objects, while radio wavelengths help study objects that emit radio waves, such as galaxies and pulsars. By combining observations from both regions, astronomers can gain a more complete understanding of the universe.


What is the equipment used in astronomy?

Some common equipment used in astronomy includes telescopes, cameras, spectrometers, and computers. Telescopes are used to observe celestial objects, while cameras capture images for analysis. Spectrometers are used to analyze the light from stars and galaxies, and computers are used for data processing and analysis.


What types of technologies has best helped scientists to study very high-energy objects in outer space such as exploding supernovae black holes and pulsars?

radio telescopes

Where should astronomers build their telescopes?

The best place for astronomers to build their telescopes is a cold, dry, and calm place. Astronomers identified a place in the Antarctic that they believe is the best place for an observatory. Read more about it at http://phys.org/news170932769.html.

Why are some telescopes launched into space?

Some of the best telescopes are in orbit because the earth atmosphere distorts the light from distant stars,which is something scientist and astronomers would rather avoid.


Will New technologies allow astronomers to use X-ray telescopes on Earth's surface?

We had best hope the answer is 'no'. In order to use x-ray telescopes effectively from the earth's surface, you'd have to get rid of the atmosphere.


Algol is best classified as what?

Algol is best classified as a fixed star system in the constellation Perseus. It is actually a binary star system consisting of two stars that eclipse each other from the perspective of Earth. It is one of the best-known eclipsing binary stars and is a popular target for amateur astronomers.

Where do reflecting telescopes work best?

All telescopes work best in the vacuum of space. Aside from that, "where" really is not a great factor compared to other types of telescopes. The distinct advantage of some reflecting telescopes is that they don't suffer from chromatic aberration like refractors do.

Why is collimation used for telescopes?

Collimation is used for telescopes to make sure the telescopes are perfectly aligned. The reflector will not produce the best image if the aligned is not just right.
