1. The aperture of a telescope is several times larger than the aperture of human eye so that the objects that can not be normally seen by unaided eye can be seen. Light- gathering power of a telescope is proportional to the area of its aperture and hence depends on the square of the radius of the mirror. Therefore a 20 cm diameter telescope collects four times more photons than a 10 cm diameter telescope.

2. A telescope can be equipped to record light over a long period of time, by using photographic film or electronic detectors such as photometers or CCD detectors while the eye has no capability to store light. A long-exposure photograph taken through a telescope reveals objects too faint to be seen with the eye, even by looking through the same telescope.

3. A third major advantage of large telescopes is that they have superior resolution, the ability to discern fine detail. Small resolution is good. The resolution is directly proportional to the wavelength being observed and inversely proportional to the diameter of the telescope.

What are the advantages of ground-based telescopes?

Ground-based telescopes are typically larger and more cost-effective than space telescopes. They can be easily upgraded and repaired, and have the ability to be built in remote locations for better viewing conditions. Additionally, ground-based telescopes benefit from continuous improvements in technology and instrumentation.


Do people in the US make telescopes?

Yes, there are companies in the US that manufacture telescopes for amateur and professional use. Some well-known telescope manufacturers based in the US include Celestron and Meade Instruments. These companies produce a wide range of telescopes for astronomy enthusiasts.


Which us state has the most telescopes in the world A.Colorado B.Arizona and C. Washington?

Arizona is the US state with the most telescopes. The most famous telescope in AZ is the Large Binocular Telescope.


Is there a Henry fitz telescope still in use in the US?

Yes, there are still Henry Fitz telescopes in use in the US. These telescopes are popular among amateur astronomers for their ease of use and affordability. Although they are no longer manufactured, many existing Henry Fitz telescopes are still being used for stargazing and observing celestial objects.


What is the name of a place that uses telescopes and other scientific equipment to space and astronomy?

An observatory is the name of a place that uses telescopes and other scientific equipment to study space and astronomy. The Mount Polamar Observitory in the west of the US is an iconic example. Today, Earth based observitories are supplimented by space telescopes.
