What are the instrument used to study stars and other heavenly bodies?
Telescopes are the main instruments. There are many different types, such as radio telescopes, besides the "usual" optical telescopes. Other instruments such as spectrometers are very useful too.
Where is the Spitzer space telescope located?
The Spitzer space telescope belongs to NASA. The Spitzer space telescope was launched into space in August 2003 . It captures images of the planets and other objects in the universe that cannot be observed from earth.
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
Is the telescope manned?
Terrestrial telescopes are generally manned, while space telescopes are unmanned. However, to a greater and greater extent, the people doing the observing are not the people actually manning the telescopes; the observations are done remotely from other universities around the world. The various space telescopes, such as the Hubble, the Kepler, or the Spitzer, or the soon-to-be-launched Webb, are remotely controlled in the same manner that everything is controlled these days; remotely, via computer.
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.
How is the HST different from other telescopes?

Are celestron telescopes reflecting telescopes?
They have many other different types of telescopes than just reflecting!!!! I have a refracting telescope myself. They also have other things like binoculars and microscopes
Who invented the spritzer space telescope?
The Spitzer Space Telescope was not invented by a single individual. It was a collaborative effort involving NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and multiple other organizations. The telescope was named after astrophysicist Lyman Spitzer Jr., who first proposed the idea of space telescopes in the 1940s.

Why are there no astronomical telescopes in orbit?
There are several astronomical telescopes in orbit. The most famous is of course the Hubble, but COROT, MOST, and the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Observer are all visible light telescopes in orbit around Earth, and there's another - Kepler - that doesn't orbit Earth, but does orbit the Sun. There are also a multitude of orbital telescopes that use segments of the electromagnetic spectrum other than visible. Spitzer, for example, uses infrared light (it's another solar orbiter).
How does a refracting telescope differ from other types of telescopes?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. This is different from other type of telescopes because it has a objective lens.
Where is the Spitzer space telescope located?
The Spitzer space telescope belongs to NASA. The Spitzer space telescope was launched into space in August 2003 . It captures images of the planets and other objects in the universe that cannot be observed from earth.
What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes

What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
Is the telescope manned?

However, to a greater and greater extent, the people doing the observing are not the people actually manning the telescopes; the observations are done remotely from other universities around the world.

How would your knowledge of the universe be different if telescopes had not been developed?
we wouldn't know about any other planet besides the sun
