Telescopes

The telescope coordinates for the school are on the bulletin board.

They are 87 (left dial) and 16 (right dial). When you have read C.J.'s secret note (on the kitchen table), you will see her through the telescope. You will need the Morse code book from her bed.

Explorers did not typically use telescopes for navigating with the stars. Instead, they used tools like the astrolabe or quadrant to measure angles between celestial objects, allowing them to determine their position on Earth. Telescopes were primarily used for observing distant objects in space.

Spherical aberration in a telescope occurs when light rays do not converge to a single point, resulting in a blurred or distorted image. This can happen due to imperfections in the shape of the telescope's primary mirror or lens. Correcting for spherical aberration is important for achieving sharp and clear images in telescopes.

1). The man-made object on the moon doesn't make any light of its own, and may

be in shadow during a large part of the month, whereas the objects far out in the

universe that the HST is used to study make their own light, like the sun, or like

several thousand suns.

2). Observing time on the HST is a very precious resource in the communities of

Astronomy, Physics, and Cosmology. Very little of its time is wasted looking at

the moon, when there are plenty of earth-bound telescopes that are well suited

for that.

Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf and the third star of the binary system of Alpha Centauri.

You need to be 'below' -600 latitude and have have a telescope capapble of resolving a a star with an Absolute Magnitude of 15.5 or better. Which is a very powerful telescope for any but professional astronomers.

It can only be seen from a very few places in the US, and then very poorly as it is too near to the horizon even at its highest.

Space satellites are typically located in different orbits around Earth, depending on their purpose. Some satellites are in low Earth orbit (LEO) at altitudes around 400-1,200 km, while others are in medium Earth orbit (MEO) or geostationary orbit (GEO) at altitudes of around 20,000 km and 36,000 km, respectively. Additionally, there are satellites in higher orbits for specific functions, such as those used for deep space exploration.

A telescope helps you see from afar and a Kaleidoscope is for fun. It makes shapes and when you point it at an object, you see it in the shapes and colors in the kaleidoscope. My father got me one when I was 5 and I still have it

At normal adjustment, the distance between the two lenses is equal to the sum of the focal lengths of each lens.

Refractors use a concave lens to refract the light rays through the main body, off the rectangular prism and into the eyepiece. These telescopes use no mirrors like reflectors (except the triangular prism contains a small mirror but a triangular prism is optional)

Lasers are commonly used in metrology applications for their ability to provide precise and accurate measurements. They can be used for distance measurement, alignment, scanning, and 3D imaging. Laser technology enables non-contact measurements, which can be faster and more accurate compared to traditional measurement techniques.

Sir Isaac Newton used a reflecting telescope, which he designed and built himself. This telescope used a curved mirror to focus light rather than a lens, providing a clearer and more detailed image than the refracting telescopes of his time.

A naked observation refers to an observation made without any prior assumptions or biases. It is based solely on the facts or information presented, without interpretation or analysis. Naked observations are valuable for gathering raw data and forming unbiased conclusions.

No, they hadn't been invented in his day ... it was all mathematics.

Earth is important because it is the only known planet with conditions suitable for supporting life. Its atmosphere, moderate temperature, and presence of water allow for the diverse ecosystems and habitats that sustain life as we know it. Additionally, Earth's position in the solar system has influenced the development and evolution of life on our planet.

The primary task of the Spitzer Space Telescope was to observe the universe in infrared light. It was designed to study objects that are too cold or faint to emit visible light, such as dusty regions of space, exoplanets, and distant galaxies.

Things on this list-

-harvests moonrocks

-studies conditions on other planets

-discovers the "martian question"'s answer (possibly)

-puts its training to the test (real thing)

The objective lens of a refracting telescope needs to gather as much light as possible to see faint objects in the night sky, so a larger lens helps achieve this. In contrast, the objective lens of a compound microscope is designed to magnify specimens that are already well-lit, so a smaller lens can be used effectively.

The telescope was first used by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei in 1609. Galileo made significant observations of celestial bodies such as the moon, Jupiter, and Venus using his telescope, which played a crucial role in revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.

Contrary to the namesake, nobody really "invented" the James Webb Space Telescope. It began as a NASA project for simply, a successor to the aging Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope (Which is an infrared telescope). It is now a collaborative project between 17 different countries, including the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency. Originally, it was named the Next Generation Telescope, however later on, in 2002, it was renamed the James Webb Space Telescope in remembrance of the NASA administrator, James Webb, who played a crucial role in the Apollo missions.

The closest person to an inventor of the JWST would be the current lead project scientist, John Mather and the staff at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. However, technically everyone who contributed to the JWST since 1996 could be considered co-inventors as the JWST is equipped with many different instruments purpose-built for the project.

Yes, sunspots can be seen from Earth without a telescope if viewed with proper eye protection during a solar eclipse or by using solar viewing glasses during a transit of the Sun. However, for regular observation, a telescope with a solar filter is recommended to safely observe and study sunspots.

It says 1.2 billion in this website but i'm not so sure........

Space exploration paved the way for the development of the James Webb Space Telescope by providing valuable experience in building and operating space-based observatories. Technologies and techniques developed for previous missions, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, have been applied to the design and construction of the James Webb Space Telescope. Additionally, insights gained from exploring our solar system and beyond have informed the science goals and objectives of the James Webb Space Telescope.

A parabolic mirror is the device that helps correct coma in reflector telescopes. Coma is an optical aberration that causes stars to appear distorted around the edges of the field of view. A parabolic mirror is designed to minimize this distortion and produce sharper images.

No, he did not. But his theories are supported by some interesting observations that are indirectly related to telescope technology. Under special circumstances, like the occurance of a total solar eclipse, it can be shown that the light from stars that are behind the sun actually bends under the influence of the sun's gravity, and the stars can be seen from earth. Also, very large objects in distant space like super giant galaxies can have a similar effect on objects behind them, almost as if the farther objects are being seen through a gravity telescope. So Einstein's idea that light is influenced by gravity is well established.

Telescopes use lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects. The lenses or mirrors help to magnify the light and form an image that can be viewed by the observer.
