A telescope does two things; it produces a magnified (enlarged) image of what it is pointing at, and it collects more light than the "naked eye". This means that we can see things more clearly and we can see things that are further away. When Galileo turned his telescope towards Jupiter in early 1609, he was able to see it bigger and brighter than with the naked eye. He could also see Jupiter's four largest moons, which cannot be seen with the naked eye at all. Nowadays we also attach cameras to telescopes, and take long exposures of objects in the night sky. All the while that the camera is making its exposure, the telescope is gathering light. An exposure of, say, 4 minutes, will gather twice as much light as a 2 minute exposure. With long exposures, astronomers are able to obtain images of incredibly faint and distant objects.

What do astronomers use to look at planets?
Their eyes, ground-based telescopes, space telescopes.
What instruments do astronomers use to study the heavens?
Telescopes
What do astronomers use to map the shape of the Milky Way?
Astronomers use radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, and space-based telescopes to map the shape of the Milky Way. They measure the positions and motions of stars, gas, and dust to create a three-dimensional map of our galaxy.
Who looks through telescopes at the stars?
Astronomers typically look through telescopes at the stars to study celestial objects such as planets, stars, galaxies, and other phenomena in the universe. They use telescopes to gather data and make observations that help expand our knowledge of the cosmos.
Do astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes?
Yes, astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes to study high-energy phenomena in space. These telescopes are typically located at high-altitude sites to reduce interference from Earth's atmosphere and are used to observe sources such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants.
How do early astronomers use telescopes?
The telescope wasn't invented until about 1604, so "early" astronomers had no telescopes.
Do astronomers or nasa use refracting telescopes?
Yes, both of them. And they also use reflecting telescopes.

What instruments do astronomers use to study the heavens?
Telescopes
How do astronomers abtain most of their information about space?
We use telescopes or satellites
What tool do astronomers use to study space?
they use space probes,satellites,and of coarse,telescopes.
What do astronomers use?
Astronomers can use their eyes to study the stars. They can also use various telescopes that either refract, reflect, and detect exotic formations.
What do astronomers use to map the shape of the Milky Way?
Astronomers use radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, and space-based telescopes to map the shape of the Milky Way. They measure the positions and motions of stars, gas, and dust to create a three-dimensional map of our galaxy.
Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telephones?
Astronomers cannot locate extrasolar planets with telescopes because these planets are outside of our solar system and too far away for telescopes to directly observe. Instead, astronomers use indirect methods such as radial velocity and transit techniques to detect these distant planets.
What companies hire astronomers?
TELESCOPES
Used by astronomers to study stars and planets?
Astronomers use telescopes to study stars and planets by capturing light from these celestial objects and analyzing it. They can gather data on the properties of stars and planets, such as their temperature, composition, and distance from Earth, to deepen our understanding of the universe. Telescopes come in various forms, such as optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and space telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope.
