Telescopes

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.

The first modern astronomer to view Mercury using a telescope was Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century. His observations of Mercury, along with other planets, helped to revolutionize our understanding of the solar system.

Galileo Galilei is credited with helping to solidify the scientific method through his systematic approach to observation, experimentation, and the use of mathematical analysis in his studies. He also improved the telescope, making significant advancements in its design and use for astronomical observations and discoveries.

Mercury and Venus are the only other planets in our solar system that can have a transit of the sun when they pass between the sun and the Earth, appearing as small dark spots moving across the sun's disk.

The primary source of light that enables astronomers to see Jupiter through a telescope is sunlight reflecting off the planet's surface and atmosphere. Jupiter also emits its own light, known as intrinsic radiation, which contributes to its visibility in the night sky.

Good and cheap rarely go together. Also, we don't know exactly what you mean by either of those terms. Your best option is to do a little research on your own and pick out some specific telescopes you can afford, then look for reviews of them in magazines like Sky and Telescope.

Speaking of which, check out the related link which may help.

The first radio antenna used to identify an astronomical radio source was one

built by Karl Jansky, an engineer with Bell Telephone Laboratories, in 1931.

Jansky was assigned the job of identifying sources of static that might interfere

with radio telephone service.

Combining images from two or more telescopes allows for higher resolution and sensitivity than what is possible with a single telescope. This technique, called interferometry, is especially useful in astronomy for studying fine details of celestial objects and for improving the overall quality of the image.

It depends what planet you are asking for. You see, astronemers found out that saturn is not the only one. Out of all of the 9 planets, there are 2 planets with rings (including saturn.) The two planets with rings are saturn and Uranus. The other planets just have dust clouds and high or low tempatures. I know it seems unexpected, but astronemers say that there are rings, and the astronemers know all about space.

I suspect the answer you're looking for is Galileo Galilei. It just has two problems: Galileo didn't "invent the telescope", nor did he "develop a heliocentric view of the universe."

The telescope was invented in the Netherlands; Galileo simply improved on it and was probably the first to apply it to astronomical observations instead of just looking for distant ships. Also, Copernicus is (properly) credited with the heliocentric view; Galileo's observations supported this, but he didn't come up with it.

Any telescope can be used at any time. Depending on what you're

looking for, though, you'll most likely realize greater or lesser success

during different parts of the solar day.

For example, the solar coelostat-telescope assembly is relatively useless

during the night, the Schmidt camera at Palomar is quite unproductive in

the day, a bird spotting scope is of limited usefullness at night, and the

Hubble must be closed up during 45 minutes out of every 90.

The invention of the telescope is credited to the field of optics, which encompasses the study of light, vision, and the behavior of electromagnetic radiation. The first practical telescope was invented in the early 17th century by Dutch spectacle maker Hans Lippershey.

I really doubt it. After thoroughly searching the internet for about 4 seconds,

I found a chain of stores offering telescopes and accessories for sale in Sydney,

Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Tasmania. Either these guys are the

world's worst businessmen, or else telescopes are perfectly legal in Australia.

Most of the planets in the solar system are going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to view with a telescope bought for home use. Jupiter being one of, if not the number one, easiest planets to spot in the night sky. Mercury and Venus are problematic when trying to view from earth because of the fact that these two planets are very close to the sun in relevance to the earth. So attempting to view these two would have to be done at the right time of orbit for each respective planet and time of day, before the sun rises or after the sun has set. So that there is minimal light pollution coming from the sun itself. On the other end of the solar neighborhood is Pluto. Pluto is the smallest planet in the solar system measuring at approximately 1,422 miles in diameter, smaller than our own moon by just under 1,000 miles. Extremely low amounts of light reaches Pluto and is reflected back to earth. In short, Pluto would be the most difficult planet to see.

Side Note: Pluto has recently changed classification from a planet to a large Kuiper Belt object.

The first large space telescope was the Hubble, and it's probably still the most famous one. But a LOT of the new and exciting work being done is using the Kepler Space Telescope, a device which was specially designed to search for planets around neighboring stars.

Because it's not important. Introducing a prism into the optical path would absorb some of the light, which is important. So the tradeoff is an easy choice for astronomers to make.
