You don't need a telescope to see Jupiter; it's right there in the evening sky. It's the fourth-brightest thing in the sky, after the Sun, Moon and Venus. Right now, it's brighter than any star.
Even a fairly small telescope will show you the 4 Galilean moons, and give you a hint of the colored bands around the planet.
What else can I help you with?
What is needed to produce a telescope with high resolving power?
Mainly, it has to have a large main lens, or main mirror.
What problem did Galileo's invention solve?
Though Galileo did not invent the telescope, he improved it greatly, and he used his new and improved telescope to discover and document a number of astronomical phenomenon. His work opened the door to astronomy wide, and we are fortunate he and others stepped through. An example of the power of his improved instrument was his discovery of the four most massive moons of Jupiter, and they are called the Galilean Moons in his honor.
Which type of telescope did Galileo turn skyward in 1610?
Galileo turned a refracting telescope, which uses lenses to gather and focus light, skyward in 1610. This allowed him to make groundbreaking astronomical observations such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.
Who invented the second telescope?
The second telescope was invented by Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century. He improved upon the design of the original telescope invented by Hans Lippershey, enhancing its magnification and clarity. Galileo used his telescope to make groundbreaking astronomical discoveries, including observations of the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.
What can you see in space with a 525x power telescope with an objective diameter of 70mm?
not much. For a telescope to be useful at 525x power it would have to be 250mm and you would need very good atmospheric conditions (a rarity). A 70mm telescope can be used at about 100x provide it is a high quality one.
What is needed to produce a telescope with high resolving power?
Mainly, it has to have a large main lens, or main mirror.
What is the best telescope for observing Jupiter's moons?
The best telescope for observing Jupiter's moons is a high-quality refractor or reflector telescope with a large aperture, such as a 6-inch or larger telescope. These telescopes provide clear and detailed views of Jupiter and its moons, allowing you to see features like the Galilean moons and their orbits around the planet.
What is the difference between a High Power telescope and a Reflecting telescope?
A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
What is the best way to observe the moons of Jupiter through a telescope?
To observe the moons of Jupiter through a telescope, it is best to use a telescope with a high magnification and a stable mount. Choose a clear night with minimal light pollution, and aim the telescope towards Jupiter. Look for the four largest moons of Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons, which are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Adjust the focus and position of the telescope to get a clear view of the moons and their positions relative to Jupiter.
Why does the light gathering power of a telescope vary?
The light gathering power of a telescope is directly proportional to the area of the objective lens of the telescope.

What appears as disks with help of a telescope?
All the planets, depending on the power of the telescope.

Which power of a telescope might be expressed as 0.5 seconds or arc?
which power of a telescope might be expressed as "0.5 seconds of arc"?
What scientific object did Galileo make?
Gailileo made a telescope having about 20 power magnification, powerful enough to observe the mountains and valleys on Earth's Moon and the four largest moons of Jupiter. He did not invent the telescope, but improved the simple telescope invented by Dutch optician Hans Lippershey in 1608 by using the principles developed by Roger Bacon of England during the 13th century.
What can you use to study the night sky?
its the telescope with suitable configuration of power.
