Telescopes

They all could benefit from higher altitude. The higher up you go, the thinner the atmosphere. The thinner the atmosphere, the clearer the view through the telescope. This is why space born telescopes produce such stunningly clear images.

Thomas Harriot used the telescope for astronomical observations, specifically to study the Moon. He made detailed maps of the Moon's surface, documenting its craters and mountains. Harriot's observations were significant contributions to the field of astronomy during his time.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is an example of an optical telescope, as are the Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. the Hale Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California and the Hooker 100 inch Telescope at the Mt Wilson Observatory, also California.

The Hubble Space Telescope, HST, has four cameras - three wide field (WF) cameras and one planetary camera (PC). Most images from HST is assembled from images from these four cameras, of which the PC is in the top right hand corner - that's why images from Hubble has a staggered appearance in that section of the image. Each camera uses a CCD that renders 800x800 pixels.

The Galileo telescope was not "discovered" but rather invented by Galileo Galilei in 1609. He was the first to use a refracting telescope for astronomical purposes, which revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos.

The lenses used in reflector telescope is the concave lens.

Neptune is visible (using a good telescope) in the evening sky from all over Earth at the moment (December 2008)

If you go out in the evening there will be two very bright objects above the south western (from the norther hemisphere) horizon. The lower one is Jupiter and the higher one (and brightest) is Venus. If you join the two up with an line and keep going upwards and towards the south you enter the constellation Capricornus. Neptune is at present in the tail area of Capricorn.

The William E. Gordon Radio Telescope at Arecibo in Puerto Rico stays where it's at,

permanently. Its 'dish' reflector is 305 meters ( 1,000 feet ) across, and it's built into

a valley in the ground.

Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Also, ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.

The shiny thing you see when looking through the telescope on Club Penguin is typically the target or object you are viewing through the telescope. It could be a star, comet, or even a spaceship depending on the game's theme or event. It's meant to spark curiosity and add an element of mystery to the game.

Many of them! Most good cameras can be fitted with an adapter that connects them to a telescope. The details of the adapter will vary from camera to camera, and telescope to telescope. And you generally can't attach a cheap camera, or a cheap telescope, together.

Google accessories for your model telescope and see what you find.

The best time to use your telescope is typically during clear nights with no moonlight, away from city lights to minimize light pollution. The ideal conditions also include stable atmospheric conditions and when the objects you want to observe are high in the sky for better visibility.

if you are looking at space from earth with a telescope your view will have to go through the earth atmosphere.... and for that the less brighter object in space will be blocked by the atmosphere... polutions etc....

but space telescope like hubbles... etc are situated in outer layer of our earth atmosphere..... thats why through it we can observe much clear space view....

Many plants can be viewed from Earth without a telescope, including trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses. These plants are easily visible to the naked eye in gardens, parks, forests, and other natural environments.

Because everything in the sky appears to be moving, at a rate that takes it

across roughly the width of the full moon every two minutes ! If the telescope

were stationary and didn't follow that motion, it would be impossible to observe

any highly magnified object for more than a few seconds before it was gone, out

of the telescope's field of view, and photographic exposures of many hours would

be nothing but an astronomer's pipe dream.

A telescope that "sees" in the infrared spectrum sees heat, which with its longer wavelength than regular visible light has an easier time passing through gas and dust and can therefore see details in areas that are blocked from view. It can also see objects that are warm, but not warm enough to emit light by glowing.

The differences are typically the method of mounting the scope, and possibly

the physical presentation of the eyepiece.

-- The mounting of an astronomical instrument typically has one axis that can be set

parallel to the Earth's axis, and a motor to turn the scope around it, so as to follow

the apparent "daily motion" of sky objects. A terrestrial telescope doesn't need to

rotate parallel to the Earth's rotation, and doesn't need to be clock-driven once you

find the object you want to watch through it.

-- An astronomical telescope is usually pointed in some degree of "upward"

direction, and for comfort's sake, the optical path often includes a 90-degree

turn, so that the eyepiece comes out perpendicular to the scope's axis, and you

don't have to scrunch down behind the tube and look up. A terrestrial scope is

typically pointed more nearly horizontal, and it isn't nearly as inconvenient to

look through it in the true direction in which it's pointed toward the target.

The Hubble space telescope has no interfering forces and it's design enables it to capture more things also the people at NASA take a tiny sand grain size dot of the picture it took and they enlarge it which shows even more stuff!

Without the invention of the telescope, our understanding of the universe would be severely limited. Important discoveries such as galaxies, supernovae, and planets orbiting other stars would not have been possible. Astronomy and many other fields reliant on telescopic observations, such as astrophysics and cosmology, would be stunted in their progression.

The telescopes on Mount Palomar, such as the Hale Telescope, can see objects over billions of light-years away. They have been instrumental in making numerous astronomical discoveries and observations of distant galaxies, stars, and celestial phenomena.

-- Galileo saw small bodies orbiting another planet in the solar system. That

took the steam out of the story that the Earth is the center of everything.

-- Newton showed that IF his simple formula for gravity is correct, then the

planets must move according to Kepler's laws, which accurately explained

everything we actually see the planets doing in the night sky.

By examining its spectrum, and identifying absorption lines in it.

Lines are shifted toward shorter wavelength if the object is moving towards us.

They're shifted toward longer wavelength if the object is moving away from us.

A refracting device is called a lens. It is an optical device that is designed to refract light in a way that converges or diverges the light rays to create an image.

Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to make extensive use of the telescope for astronomy. He made several important discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, using his telescope in the early 17th century.
