Telescopes

No, x-rays and gamma rays cannot be focused by lenses or conventional telescope mirrors. To make mirrors that will focus x-rays or gamma rays you need very shallow glancing angle mirrors, that are nearly just parabolically tapered tubes. Typically several of these tubes with the same focal point but different diameter are nested inside each other.

Magnification refers to a telescope's ability to make an object appear larger when viewed through the telescope. It is the degree to which the image of the object is enlarged compared to what is seen with the naked eye.

Hawaii is the state with the largest collection of telescopes at the Maunakea Observatories, located on the Big Island. Maunakea is considered one of the best astronomical sites in the world due to its high elevation and clear skies, making it ideal for stargazing and astronomical research.

A microscope isn't used for navigating/exploring the universe. A microscope is for looking at germs, viruses etc. A telescope is able to look at the sky. A microscope is used in science labs. Not use for space explorering.

The best known Hubble repair mission was to install a fix to some flawed optics aboard the telescope. Other missions have been to replace other aging hardware and install more capable equipment for more advanced research.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit on April 24, 1990.

Yes, the polar caps of Mars can be seen with Earth-based amateur telescopes during certain times of the year when they are not obscured by dust storms. Dust storms on Mars can also be observed with specialized equipment and are sometimes visible to amateur astronomers as changes in the planet's appearance.

The atmosphere of the Earth filters out and blocks plenty of radiation from outer space. Thus, telescopes are placed on satellites to glean information from these rays that would otherwise not be able to reach Earth-based telescopes.

Practically all telescopes which use lenses, normally the refracting type. the Reflector use objective Concave Mirrors, but even these need eyepieces or finder scopes.

1. Radio telescopes are directional radio antennae that have a curved shape and are used like other astronomical telescopes to study objects in the universe beyond Earth and the Solar System. They gather radio waves and process them by using a computer.

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope has been repaired several times since its launch in 1990. The last servicing mission was in 2009.

The HST orbits at 569 km (353 miles) above Earth, orbits it in 97 minutes at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour (28,500 km per hour). In one second the HST travels almost 5 miles!

They are able to see further into space now and see more detail of certain objects. Before telescopes, it was all observation astronomy. Whatever you could see with your naked eye was it. Once the telescope was invented, they were able to see more detail of our night sky. Scientists were able to identify and watch celestial objects over periods of time. watching their movements

The ancient Babylonians were likely the first to observe Saturn without a telescope around 700-600 BCE. They noted its slow movement against the fixed stars.

You can't really use telescopes because there is to much glare. But if you look up at the sky, you can see stars are Blue, And red. Blue stars are large and have short life spans. Red stars are red Supergiants. Stars late in there life cycle.

Think of a moth flying around a street-light, and you're standing 1/2 mile away

trying to see it. It's so small, and always so close to the bright light, that it's

tough for you to pick it out of the glare.

Mercury isn't much bigger than Earth's moon, and its orbit is the smallest of the

known planets. From where we are, it always appears so close to the sun that

it never rises until just a short time before the sun, and it always sets just a

short time after the sun. It's tiny, and it's never up when the sky is good and

dark, so it's always tough to pick it out of the sun's glare.

A refracting telescope can show different views of planets by adjusting the eyepiece magnification. By changing the eyepiece, you can increase or decrease the magnification to see different details and perspectives of the planet. This allows for different views of the planetary surface, rings, or moons.

Computers are best at processing and storing large amounts of data quickly and accurately. They excel at performing repetitive tasks with precision and consistency. Additionally, they are excellent at multitasking and can handle complex calculations and operations efficiently.

The word "telescope" has a long vowel sound. In this case, the letter "e" is pronounced as a long "e" sound, like in the word "see" or "bee." Short vowel sounds are typically shorter and sharper, like in the word "pet" or "cat."

Yes, some asteroids can be seen with the naked eye when they are close enough to Earth. These asteroids are typically bright and are moving across the night sky.

A radio telescope uses an antenna and receiver to detect radio waves emitted by astronomical objects. These telescopes are essential for studying objects that emit radio waves, such as pulsars, quasars, and radio galaxies.

Most of the expeditions and trails are conducted by governments using taxpayers money because they want a SAFE PLACE to escape when the time comes. I know that you have understood the meaning when the time comes. If you are in India you surely would have understood.

It is not ethical or legal to spy on your neighbor using a telescope. It's important to respect their privacy and boundaries. If you have concerns or suspicions, it's best to address them directly or seek help from appropriate authorities.

Indian astronomers used naked-eye observations, mathematical calculations, and sophisticated instruments like astrolabes and quadrants to study the movement of stars and planets. They developed complex models and theories based on their meticulous observations, which laid the foundation for advancements in astronomy. Their expertise in mathematics and keen observational skills allowed them to make significant contributions to the field of astronomy.
