Forgetting to remove the telescope lens cap is not usually the problem.

The answer to this multiple choice question is "red shift" which is actually a useful phenomenon in viewing and analyzing the light from very distant stars. Light is shifted in wavelength by the movement of stars toward or more typically AWAY from the observer, or by moving through strong gravitational fields.

What are the methods that astronomers use to identiy the composition of distant stars?

Spectroscopy.


Why astronomers have difficulty looking at distant stars except?

Astronomers have difficulty looking at distant stars because while we have highly specialized telescopes, they are in constant contention with various other celestial bodies. In addition to this, the light of distant stars takes hundreds of thousands of years to reach us, making it impossible to get a current look at a distant star.

What are not a reason that astronomers have trouble viewing distant start?

Astronomers do not have trouble viewing distant stars due to their brightness, as many distant stars are incredibly luminous. Instead, challenges arise from factors like cosmic dust obscuring light, the expansion of the universe redshifting light from distant objects, and limitations of current telescope technology. Additionally, atmospheric interference can hinder ground-based observations, but these issues are not related to the inherent brightness of the stars themselves.


Reasons why astronomers have difficulty looking at distant stars except?

Light years of dust lanes obscure the view of distant stars in visible light. However, radio telescopes can penetrate the dust and can detect (in the x-ray and infrared spectra) the stars in the core of our galaxy.They don't understand how redshift affects stars.

How do astronomers use parallax to describe how we measure the distance to other stars?

Astronomers use parallax to measure the distance to other stars by observing how a star appears to shift its position against the background of more distant stars as the Earth orbits the Sun. By measuring this apparent shift, astronomers can calculate the distance to the star based on the angle of the shift and the known distance between the Earth and the Sun.


Is there a lot of light pollution on Earth that makes it difficult for astronomers to observe at distant stars?

Yes, human electric lighting is polluting the night sky.


How do astronomers measure the distance to nearby stars?

Astronomers use a method called parallax to measure the distance to nearby stars. By observing how a star's position changes when viewed from different points in Earth's orbit around the Sun, astronomers can calculate the star's distance based on the angle of this apparent shift.


What do astronomers use to study the property of the stars?

Some astronomers study how matter behaves using particle accelerators.
