What is one telescope that has seen Earth?
The Hubble Space Telescope has seen Earth. While its primary function is to observe celestial objects in deep space, the telescope has also been pointed towards Earth for calibration and testing purposes.
Why are telescope eyepieces an important part of any visual telescope?
Telescope eyepieces are important of any visual telescope. It is the main part of the telescope and is what determines how the object will look like through the telescope.
What new telescope is nasa going to launch when the hubble space telescope falls back to earth?
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.
What type of telescope that uses only lenses to collect light to form a image?
simplest possible telescope
What would be the effect on magnification to increase the focal length of microscope and telescope?
The focal length of a telescope is directly related to the magnification in that the longer the focal length, the more magnification you get from the telsceope. How the focal length of a telescope relates to the length of the telescope itself depends on the design of the telescope. In a refracting telescope, the focal length is approximately the length of the telescope. In a reflecting telescope, the focal length is roughly two time the length of the telescope.
What is the function of a telescope?
A telescope is an optical instrument used to make distance views and objects appear closer to the user.
What is the power of the eyepiece?
The magnification, or power, at which a telescope is operating is a function of the focal length of the telescope's main (objective) lens (or primary mirror) and the focal length of the eyepiece employed.

Sprinklers

Is the word telescope a compound noun?
Yes, the word "telescope" is a compound noun. It is formed by combining the Greek roots "tele," meaning "distant," and "skopein," meaning "to look or see." Together, these roots convey the idea of looking at distant objects, which is the primary function of a telescope.
What is the function of a computerized telescopes?
The function of a computerized telescopes is to view distant stars in the sky. The telescope can self align itself to specific stars once setup is complete.
What telescope is able to pick up images regardless if the weather and sky conditions?
One which doesn't use the visible light portion of the EM spectrum. For instance, a microwave telescope. A telescope would also be able to function regardless of weather conditions if it were in orbit, rather than ground-based.
One function of a refracting telescope?
The nominal function of any telescope is to enlarge the image of a distant object and that is the same for reflecting or refracting or hybrid telescopes. That said, it is a better description of a telescope to say it is a light collector that brings into an image (on the eye or photo sensor of the user) the light that is given off by some distant object. The aperture of a telescope is much much larger than the aperture (iris) of the human eye, so whatever object is being viewed is producing light an a much greater quantity of light is entering the telescope than would be entering the eye. More light allows the image being viewed to be enlarged and still visible to the human eye.

It is a reflecting telescope
