Telescopes

the telescope was shining it was painted a sky blue and decorated with fake diamonds and rubies

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.

A microwave telescope allows you to see celestial objects and phenomena that emit microwave radiation, such as cosmic microwave background radiation, molecular clouds, and active galactic nuclei. By detecting and studying these microwave emissions, scientists can gain insights into the composition, temperature, and structure of these objects.

There is a concave main mirror at the low end of the telescope that focusses the image at a point above it. But before the rays arrive at the focus, they are reflected by a flat mirror set at 45-degrees so that the image is formed outside the side of the telescope, which is where the eyepiece is put.

Astronomers can address issues with Earth-based telescopes by using adaptive optics to correct for atmospheric distortion, selecting observing sites at high altitudes or in deserts with stable air, and designing telescopes with larger mirrors to gather more light and improve image resolution. Additionally, they can employ techniques like interferometry to combine light from multiple telescopes for enhanced resolution.

The name of the worst witch in the Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy is Mildred Hubble. Despite her clumsiness and lack of skill in magic, she always tries her best and eventually proves herself to be a good witch.

a telescope's magnification is calculated as the ratio of the focal length of the primary objective to the focal length of the eyepiece. Since a telescope is defined by the primary objective, this part of it is essentially unchangeable. Therefore, the way to increase magnification is to decrease the focal length of the eyepiece. For example, a 1000mm objective and a 25mm eyepiece yields a magnification of (1000/25) 40x. Changing the eyepiece to a 10mm eyepiece increases magnification to (1000/10) 100x.

Mars has been the most studied planet by telescopes because of its relatively close proximity to Earth, making it more accessible for observation. Moreover, its similarities to Earth, such as its atmosphere and geological features, make it an intriguing target for scientists looking to understand planetary evolution and the potential for past or present life. Additionally, the Red Planet's dynamic environment, seasonal changes, and potential for human exploration have all contributed to its extensive study.

Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky, so its proximity and brightness make it visible to the naked eye. Additionally, its location in the northern hemisphere allows it to be seen throughout the year, further enhancing its visibility without the aid of a telescope.

No, looking at Venus through a telescope will not make you go blind. It is safe to observe Venus using proper eye protection and following safe viewing practices similar to observing the sun.

Yes, professional astronomical telescopes typically have greater magnification capabilities compared to telescopes sold in stores. This allows astronomers to observe celestial objects with greater detail and clarity. Professional telescopes also have larger apertures and specialized optics to gather more light and enhance image quality.

A reflecting telescope gathers light with a mirror instead of a lens. The mirror reflects light to a focus point where the image is formed. This design eliminates chromatic aberration that can occur with lenses.

The first telescope used in Arecibo, Puerto Rico was the Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory, which began operation in November 1963. This telescope was originally built for ionospheric and radio astronomy research.

Large mirrors can now be made thinner and lighter than before.

Tracking celestial objects today is computer controlled and can take advantage of simpler, stronger mounts. High-speed computing today can be used to reduce the effect of Earth's atmosphere.

An earth-based telescope has to contend with atmospheric turbulence, which can distort and blur images. This is not a concern for a space-based telescope, which operates above Earth's atmosphere and can provide clearer images.
