The recent discovery in astronomy, is that Pluto is no longer a planet. Because the mass of Pluto is far less than the mass of other planets in our solar system, they have decided to take the title "planet" away from Pluto. But because it is still much bigger than any meteor or astroide, they have decided to name it a sub-planet.

When did Gallilio improve the telescope?

Galileo improved the telescope in 1609, by making it more powerful and using it to observe celestial bodies such as the Moon, stars, and planets. His discoveries helped revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy.


Why was Galiloe Galilei the fisrt person to study the stars through a telescope?

Galileo Galilei was not the first person to study the stars through a telescope, but he significantly improved the design of the telescope, making it more powerful for astronomical observations. His observations of celestial bodies such as the Moon, Jupiter’s moons, and sunspots helped revolutionize our understanding of the universe.


Are any of Galileo galilei's inventions to any use today?

the thermometer. Actually, Galileo made a thermoscope. You should Google image "Galilean thermometer". It's really different from our regular mercury thermometer. It's a lot cooler. the telescope. Well, Galileo merely improved it but he did so, so that the telescope was capable of observing planets and stars in outer space. He made the 1st telescope strong enough to do that. the pendulum. Galileo discovered that ischronism was what made the pendulum a useful timekeeper. Ischronism is the period of which the pendulum swings. the compass. He also improved that too. I don't know much about what he did with the compass but I do know the other three. All I know about the compass is that Galileo improved it. I hope I helped. Oh, and the reason I know all of this is because I have to do a project on him. I'm also an A+ student so yeah, trust me on this. =] ~K 2+2= fish


Did the hubble telescope improve space exploration?

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope has significantly improved space exploration by providing detailed images of distant galaxies, nebulae, and other celestial objects. It has helped scientists expand our understanding of the universe and has made groundbreaking discoveries, such as the age of the universe and the existence of dark matter.


How did Kepler and Galileo improve upon Copernicus theory?

Kepler improved upon Copernicus's heliocentric model by introducing elliptical orbits, demonstrating that planets do not move in perfect circles but rather in ellipses, which better explained their observed motions. Galileo complemented this by providing observational evidence through his telescope, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter, which supported the Copernican view and challenged the geocentric model. Together, their contributions helped solidify the heliocentric theory and laid the groundwork for modern astronomy.

What makes the Hubble telescope from the other telescope?

the hubble telescope is a refracting telescope and it is the biggest one because the refracting telescope can only have a certain range of size for the glass lens because it can only hang on the telescope and it is aproximently 5 meters big the lens. hope it helped
