What else can I help you with?
What is the dameter of each of the twin Keck telescopes?
The telescopes' primary mirrors are 10 meters in diameter.
How are radio telescopes different from the keck tetescopes?
Radio telescopes and Keck telescopes differ primarily in the type of electromagnetic radiation they observe. Radio telescopes detect radio waves emitted by celestial objects, allowing astronomers to study phenomena like pulsars and cosmic microwave background radiation. In contrast, the Keck telescopes, which are optical/infrared telescopes located in Hawaii, observe visible and infrared light, enabling detailed imaging and spectroscopy of stars, galaxies, and other astronomical features. This distinction in wavelength leads to different techniques and instruments used in their respective observations.
What is the biggest telescope in Hawaii called?
There are two very similar 10-meter telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
The largest visible light telescopes are now all what?
The largest visible light telescopes are now all ground-based, such as the Keck Observatory in Hawaii or the Very Large Telescope in Chile. These telescopes provide high-resolution images and data of celestial objects in visible light.
What are examples of optical telescopes?
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is an example of an optical telescope, as are the Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. the Hale Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California and the Hooker 100 inch Telescope at the Mt Wilson Observatory, also California.
How are the telescopes Keck I and Keck II different from radio telescope?
They are optical telescopes.
How are the Keck telescopes different from radio telescopes?
keck telescopes 1,2 tie the records for the largest telscopes in the world
How are radio telescopes different from the keck telescopes?
keck telescopes 1,2 tie the records for the largest telscopes in the world
How are radio telescopes different from keck telescopes?
Keck telescopes do not exist, Keck telescope refers to the WM Keck Observatory on Mt. Kea.The Keck Observatory is comprised of several opticalreflecting telescopes, whereas aradio telescope consists of a large parabolic solid metal or screen reflector with a radioreceiver at its focus, built to detect and measure radio waves.
How big are the mirrors on the keck telescopes?
10 m
How are the telescopes keck 1 and keck 2 different from a radio telescope?
I have no idea and it does not even say it in the textbook

Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii

Can the Keck telescopes be used to see black holes?
The Keck telescopes are optical, so no. The only possible exception being the super-luminous flash of Hawking radiation that theoretically occurs in certain-sized black holes, although orbital telescopes have a much better chance of detecting this light. Most of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from black holes has energies in the range of x-rays, an energy range that the Keck telescopes aren't designed for. However, the most likely way that a black hole will be experimentally proven to exist is through the indirect method of measuring stellar orbits. Believe it or not, simple calculations from the ultra-precise, Keplerian orbital measurements of distant stars can be made to show the necessary size and mass of whatever object it is those stars are orbiting. If that size and mass fit the necessary conditions required of black holes, then there's your proof. The Keck telescopes are VERY well-equipped to make those kinds of measurements.
