I do not believe that the Hubble is equipped for radio astronomy. Certainly it can "detect" radio waves; it is remote-controlled by radio. But most radio astronomy is done with earth-based dish antennas.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of ground based telescope?

a normal telescope can be projected further then a space telescope because it is bigger and more of it a space telescope in in space which lets it see further into space and is more exspensive to make ect


How are radio telescopes different from keck telescopes?

Keck telescopes do not exist, Keck telescope refers to the WM Keck Observatory on Mt. Kea.The Keck Observatory is comprised of several opticalreflecting telescopes, whereas aradio telescope consists of a large parabolic solid metal or screen reflector with a radioreceiver at its focus, built to detect and measure radio waves.


Is a satellite dish a form of radio telescope or antenna?

A radio telescope gathers and focuses radio waves, or electromagnetic waves outside the visual spectrum. A satellite telescope is sent outside the atmosphere to become a satellite of either the earth or sun, unless it is sent outside the solar system like the Voyager spacecraft. Many satellite telescopes carry several types of telescopes in one package to gather as much information as possible, like the Hubble.


What wavelength does the Lovell Telescope use?

The Lovell Telescope is a radio telescope at Jodrell bank (Cheshire U.K). It can observe wavelengths up to ~5 Ghz.


What kind of telescope focuses light through a transparent lens?

An optical telescope (as distinct from, say, a radio telescope). It's possible that the answer was intended to be "a refracting telescope" but reflecting telescopes use lenses as well.

Is the radio telescope an instrument which measures radiation?

Yes, a radio telescope is an instrument specifically designed to detect and measure radio waves emitted by celestial objects in space. It is used to study and observe radio emissions from various astronomical sources, providing valuable information about the universe.


What part of EM spectrum does the arecibo telescope detect?

The Arecibo Telescope can detect radio waves in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum, particularly in the microwave frequencies. It is mainly used for radio astronomy research and for studying objects in space that emit radio signals.


Which instrument has been used to detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?

The Hubble Space Telescope has been used to detect the oldest and most distant objects in the solar system. Its powerful cameras and instruments help astronomers study these objects, such as distant galaxies and stars, by capturing their light and providing valuable insight into their formation and evolution.


A device used to detect radio waves from objects in the space?

A radio telescope is used to detect radio waves emitted from objects in space. These telescopes collect and amplify these signals to create images and study various celestial phenomena such as supernovae, pulsars, and other cosmic events. The information gathered helps astronomers to better understand the universe.


Can radio waves penetrate Earth's atmosphere?

yes, this is why we had two-way radio contact ( and still do) with NASA manned space craft. Also don't forget . . . -- radio contact with Apollo astronauts on the moon -- radio contact with the International Space Station -- receiving pictures and data from the Hubble Space Telescope -- receiving TV at home from stationary satellites -- radio contact with Curiosity on Mars -- radio-astronomy


What are other kinds of telescope used by astronomers to observe star?

Some other types of telescopes used by astronomers to observe stars include radio telescopes, which detect radio waves emitted by stars, and space telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope, which is specifically designed for observations in space without the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere. Astronomers also use infrared telescopes to study stars emitting infrared radiation, providing valuable insights into their composition and temperature.

What if the hubble telescope was on the dark side of the moon. i say this because the telescope then wont have the reflections of light from our planet from the sun?

Hubble was first and foremost designed to be serviced in space, unlike other satellites. However, if it was in a geosynchronous orbit on the dark side of the moon, we couldn't communicate with it due to the radio blackout that occurs. Hubble's instruments also compensate for ambient orbital light, and many observations are taken when Hubble is in orbit on the dark side of the Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope (originally named the Next Generation Space Telescope), the follow-on to HST, will however take advantage of lower light conditions by orbiting at the Sun-Earth Lagrange (L2) point, which is out past the Moon's orbital path. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, Herschel Space Observatory and Planck space observatory are already in orbit at the Sun-Earth L2 point.
