Objects studied by astronomers are so far away that it takes a significant time for their light to reach earth. For example, even in the case of the sun, what you see in the sky is not what the sun looks like 'right now', but what the sun looked like about 8 minutes ago ... because that's how long it took for its light to travel the 93 million miles from the sun to the earth. After the sun, the next nearest star to us is so far away that its light takes four years to reach us. So there's actually nothing visible to us in the sky that we see as it exists 'right now'.

What is the main advantage of the hubble space telescopes location?
Hubble being in space does not have a problem of seeing which is caused by atmospheric blurring and thus can observe light at more wavelengths. Its only limitation is by diffraction in its optics

Instrument that makes small distant objects visible?
An instrument that makes small, distant objects visible is a telescope. Binoculars and scopes are also used for seeing long distance.
What are some of the effects of astronomical seeing?
The North Star can be our compass when we decide to walk through the Sahara desert observing the night sky using our telescope. Our research will help scientists understand the solar system.
How can you see the past looking through a telescope at a distant object?
Scientist investigate the early universe by observing objects that are extremely far away in space.Beause it takes time for light to travel through space,looking through a telescope is like looking back in time one travels. Looking at distant galaxies evolve through time and perhaps what caused them to form in the first place.Scientiiist have already found some very strange looking objects in the Early universe.
What Instrument used for seeing stars and planets is?
Telescope
What is a view?

What does 'Doordarshan' mean in English?
Doordarshan is a combination of two words: "Door" (the oo is pronounced as in "ooh"), meaning 'distant'; and "Darshan" meaning 'seeing'. In an astronomical sense, the word refers to a telescope. In a spiritual sense, it refers to clairvoyance.
What is difference between reading glasses and distant glasses?
Distance glasses are made for people who are nearsighted ( people who have difficulty seeing DISTANT objects but can see close objects clearly ) reading glasses are for people who are farsighted ( people who have difficulty seeing CLOSE objects but can see distant objects clearly ) Distant glasses come in a MINUS prescription and usually when you wear them, they make everything look SMALLER Reading glasses come in a PLUS prescription and they make the world seem BIGGER
Is seeing and observations are the same?
Yes.Because what you mean by seeing is you watch it and while watching you are observing it with out you knowing.
What instrument is used for seeing stars and a planet clearly?
A telescope is commonly used to see stars and planets clearly in the night sky. Telescopes work by gathering and focusing light to magnify distant objects, allowing observers to see them more clearly and in greater detail. Telescopes come in different types and sizes, suitable for various astronomical observations.
What is the difference between seeing and observing?
Seeing is the act of perceiving visual information with the eyes, while observing involves actively paying attention to details, patterns, or behaviors within what is seen. Observing typically requires focused and intentional attention, whereas seeing can be more passive.
Studying distant galaxies is described as looking back into the past What does this mean?
When we view an object in space, we are notobserving it "as is" we are observing it "as it was". What we are seeing, is the light that was emitted at that time.For example: A galaxy is 1,000,000 light years away. When we view it, we are seeing it as it was 1,000,000 years ago, because that is how long light has taken to get to us.The galaxy may well have been swallowed by a giant mutant turtle 999,998 years ago, but we will not know for another year.So we are seeing objects in space as that were, relative to their distances from us, not what they are. Eg looking back in time.
