It acts as a RADAR unit, sending radio waves and measuring the amount of time it takes for them to come back.
radio telescopes monitor radio signals from outer space. The signals are analysed and classified by type to determine the nature of the source and widen our knowledge of astrophysics and cosmology.
No. Many frequencies of light are absorbed by the atmosphere, and so Earth-based telescopes can't detect it. That's why space telescopes such as the Hubble are so valuable; they allow us to see in frequencies that we cannot detect here on Earth.
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
They must be launched in to space because there is a better veiw in space than from earth.

Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
They have changed because now there is a telescope in space called the "Hubble". I can see things that regular telescopes on Earth cannot see.
we use telescopes for seeing things in outer space
Yes, an instrument used to see things in space is called a telescope. Telescopes collect and magnify light from distant celestial objects, allowing astronomers to study stars, planets, galaxies, and other astronomical phenomena. There are various types of telescopes, including optical, radio, and space telescopes, each designed for specific wavelengths of light or types of observations.
Telescopes, designed for various wavelengths, are looking at things in space.
The space shuttle helped us to be able to go into space and find out lots of info. we did not know. Before we had the space shuttle all we had were telescopes. Telescopes were good but all that they gave us were a picture and then we had to estimate how far away things in the universe were from other things were in the universe. Now that we have the space shuttle we are able to see things that we may not have seen with the telescope. We are also able to see how far away things are from other things
reflecting and refracting telescopes
The mission of a Telescope is to study or see space.
No, you cannot see your house from space with a telescope. Telescopes on Earth are not powerful enough to see individual houses from space.
Strictly speaking, you cannot see "outer space", because space is almost entirely empty. That means that there is nothing there to reflect light back to our eyes, so we don't see anything. But to view things on the other side of the "almost entirely empty" outer space - things like moons, planets and stars - we typically use many versions of telescopes, although you can see examples of each with your bare eyes.
so we could see in oter space
you can travel up in a spaceship!! and there is a fact that we have space telescopes satilites all above to
