Telescopes

I assume you mean the Hubble Space Telescope. Such space telescopes benefit from the lack of an atmosphere: there is no atmospheric distortion, which otherwise severely limits the image quality. The lack of an atmosphere also lets such telescopes see in frequencies that don't get down to Earth at all, for example infrared and ultraviolet. There are OTHER space telescopes in orbit that use this benefit to observe x-rays.

Kay Hans Lipphershey invented the telescope because he was a lensmaker. at the time his kids were playing outside when they discovered it, Hans didnt really create it it was his kids but he took the credit from them. people think that Galileo also created it but he did not. he took it a step further from Lipphersheys idea and just made it better. so they should both be credited. he created it also for the scientists and mathematicians in that time could study the planets and solar system. by Liam

Telescopes are often located in deserts because deserts offer very dry and clear atmospheric conditions, which are ideal for observing celestial objects. The dry air minimizes atmospheric distortion, providing astronomers with clearer and more detailed images of the night sky. Additionally, deserts have fewer artificial lights, reducing light pollution that can interfere with astronomical observations.

The original "Hand with reflecting sphere" sculpture by M.C. Escher is located in the Escher Museum in The Hague, Netherlands. The museum is housed in a former royal palace, known as the Lange Voorhout Palace.

Astronomers discovered a large dark storm on Neptune, which they named the Great Dark Spot. This storm was similar in size to Earth and displayed winds up to 1,500 mph. Its presence surprised astronomers because it had not been observed during the Voyager flyby missions in the 1980s.

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at an altitude of about 547 kilometers (340 miles). The distance from the Sun to Earth varies due to Earth's elliptical orbit, but on average it is about 149.6 million kilometers (93 million miles).

A telescope lens gathers and focuses light from distant objects, producing an image that appears magnified. By bending and converging the light rays, the lens creates a larger image on the retina of the eye, making objects appear closer and more detailed than they actually are.

In space there is no interference by Earth's atmosphere.

The earliest know working telescopes appeared in 1608 by Hans Lippershey.

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at a speed of about 17,000 miles per hour (27,000 km/h). At this speed, it completes an orbit around Earth approximately every 97 minutes.

Refraction in a microscope helps to bend light rays, allowing the objective lens to focus on a specimen and magnify it. By bending light through the specimen, the microscope can produce a detailed image of small structures that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.

Yes, the invention of the telescope led to further advancements in science and technology, including improvements in optics, astronomy, and the development of other optical instruments. It revolutionized our understanding of the universe and paved the way for discoveries such as the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.

The reflecting telescope deals with light. It uses mirrors to gather and focus incoming light from distant celestial objects for observation. Sound waves are not used in reflecting telescopes.

Because the Space Shuttle will have to fly at a higher altitude and different inclination that if it was going to the ISS (International Space Station), it will take a little under 3 days to get there. The Hubble Telescope operates past the reach of the Earths Atmosphere, at an orbit of approximately 360 miles above the Earth. Although it could techincally reach it sooner, there is a slight chance that the Space Shuttle may encounter some space junk, especially after the recent collision of two satellites orbitting the planet.

Hand lenses do not refract light themselves. They allow you to see objects more clearly by magnifying them. Refraction of light occurs when light passes through different mediums with varying densities or refractive indexes.

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope was launched by the United States space agency NASA in 1990. It has provided invaluable insights into our universe and has made countless discoveries in the field of astronomy and astrophysics.

Refraction is the phenomena that occurs when a ray of light changes direction when it passes through a medium with a different refractive index.

This is observable as by submerging an object half in water half out. It looks like at the surface of the water the object, lets say your arm for example, is in the water at a different angle than it is outside of the water.

Microwave transmission also requires line of sight in order to work properly. In order to allow two way communications two frequencies are used. However, this does not mean that there has to be two antennas because the frequencies can be dealt with by one antenna at both ends.

The distance covered by microwave signals is based upon the height of the antenna. In order to increase this coverage each antenna has a built-in repeater that regenerates the signal before passing it on to the next antenna in line. The placement of the antenna to do this is approximately 25 miles.

The main drawback of microwave signals is that they can be affected by weather, especially rain.

The cost of building an observatory can vary widely depending on factors such as size, location, design, equipment, and technology. Small private observatories can cost tens of thousands of dollars, while larger professional observatories can cost tens of millions of dollars. Maintenance, staff salaries, and ongoing operations also contribute to the overall cost.

A hole in the ozone layer would increase the amount of harmful UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface, potentially affecting the sensitive components of a UV telescope. This increased exposure to UV radiation could degrade the telescope's optics and detectors, leading to decreased performance and accuracy of observations. Regular maintenance and protection measures would be necessary to mitigate these effects.

The light collecting power of a telescope depends on the diameter of its objective lens or primary mirror. A larger objective lens or mirror can gather more light, allowing the telescope to produce brighter and clearer images of celestial objects.

Although Galileo's telescope was the first to be used for astronomical purposes, he didn't invent

the telescope.

A man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. Many people claimed to have invented the telescope however Hans Lipperhey was the only one to apply for a patent.

The Hubble space telescope uses optical sensors to gather data of distant objects; as it is located outside of the Earths atmosphere it is not subject to the distortions associated with terrestrial telescopes.

The Chandra (X-ray observatory) gathers x-ray data about the universe; again, this cannot be achieved with terrestrial based observatory instruments
