A telescope has a larger gathering area (the main lens, or the main mirror) than the human eye. This makes it possible to see the light of fainter objects. Another thing the telescope does is to increase angular resolution. This makes it possible, in some cases, to see two stars that are close together as two stars, whereas the human eye would see them as a single spot of light.

Why astronomers uses telescope if you can see the planet by naked eyes?

With a telescope, you can see a lot more detail on the planets surface. Without a telescope you can only see bright dots, like surrounding stars, but with a telescope you can make out more - you can see the rings of Saturn for example of the bands and red spot on Jupiter.


Why the development of the telescope with better magnification has helped astronomers to find out more about the universe?

It has allowed astronomers to find out more about the universe, creating clearer more detailed images, also allowing them to look further into the universe to see things such as distant galaxies, stars and planets.

Why does the hubble telescope help us?

The Hubble Space Telescope helps us by providing high-quality images of distant celestial objects, which helps astronomers study the universe in more detail. It also helps us understand the origins of the universe, track the movement of planets and other phenomena, and discover new celestial objects.


What type of scientist studies the Solar System stars and galaxies?

Collectively they are called Astronomers and Astrophysicists. Either professionals or amateurs.There are many types of astronomers, defined by how they study the stars. The most well-known are those that use optical telescopes followed closely by those that use Radio-telescope to pick up wavelengths other than visible light. there are many others and many other ways to collect data on the galaxies and stars.Astrophysicists are astronomers and may also collect direct data, yet they are more interested in the working behind the data. They deal in physics and theories of the galaxies.

Who studies the stars moons and planets?
