Based on chemical spectography, which is the maximum science we can use presently, we have "seen" approximately 1.25% of what "we think" are the range parameters of the universe. The farthest we've seen through spectography (much farther than visual or radiotelescopy) is about 600 billion light years away. Do the math - too many zero's for me.

What are modern space facilities tools and equipment used to study the universe?

Modern tools and equipment used to study the universe include optical telescopes, radio telescopes, space telescopes, the electromagnetic spectrum, many branches of science including paleontology, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., computer science and much much more. For more about tools and equipment used in astronomy, see the related links.

Why are most modern telescopes reflecting telescopes?

A reflecting telescope is much easier to build than a refracting telescope and consequently is much less expensive. A reflecting telescope uses a concave mirror to collect and concentrate starlight and send it to your eye, whereas a refracting telescope uses a series of lenses to do the same thing. Optical quality lenses are much more expensive (and heavier) than a well-made mirror. For a given amount of money, much larger reflecting telescope can be built than a refracting. For very large telescopes, the lenses needed would be enormous and next to impossible to make optically perfect. Consequently, most telescopes are reflecting.


Did ancient Egyptian astronomers have telescopes?

No, ancient Egyptian astronomers did not have telescopes. They relied on naked-eye observations of the sky and developed impressive astronomical knowledge and calendars based on these observations. Telescopes were not invented until much later in history.

How much of space isn't explored?

99.99 percent ! Although we have sent unmanned probes beyond the reaches of our own solar system, we are just a tiny speck in the vast expanse of the universe !


How far can a telescope see into the universe?

Well darling, a telescope can technically see until the edge of the observable universe which is about 46.5 billion light-years away. But honey, let's be real, there's much more to the universe beyond what our little telescopes can capture. So keep reaching for the stars, because who knows what else is out there waiting to be discovered.


Why can hubble space telescopes see much further into space and product much clearer images then telescopes on earth?

Because light is absorbed and disturbed as it passes through air ... effects that ground-based telescopes have to live with but Hubble doesn't.


Is there aqny avidance found that there is any alien on space?

So far, there is no firm evidence. But that doesn't mean there is no alien life; the Universe is just so enormous that not much has been explored so far.


What is a storm on Jupiter that is strong enough to be seen through telescopes?

It is not so much that it is string enough to be seen be telescopes as much as it is large enough. That storm is larger than Earth.
