Astronomers conclude that the universe is expanding, because wavelengths are increasing.

What does the sun consume to produce energy and helium

Hydrogen! :)

What kind of telescope has lenses that gather light

These are called refractory telescopes.

Reflectory telescopes use mirrors to focus the light.
