Telescopes

Because different objects give out electromagnetic radiation at different frequencies. Some objects are very easily viewed in the visible spectrum, others are essentially invisible in that spectrum. Also, some types of electromagnetic radiation can more easily penetrate dust and other debris between the source and Earth. Visible light is very easily blocked by dust, but x-rays for example can pass through them pretty much intact.

The numbers for the coordinates are located on her thing she puts notes on [above the telescope]. You jump from thumbtack to thumbtack to find the coordinates!

[Sorry if this does not help, but I'm pretty sure that is where the coordinates for the school are located]

The planet Neptune was discovered by using a large telescope, in 1846.

That was 167 years ago.

Galileo, using a small telescope, discovered the first 4 moons of Jupiter in 1610.

That was 403 years ago. (Since then, 63 more have been discovered.)

A radio telescope is a reflecting telescope, and uses a mirror rather than a lens.

Since radio waves are so much longer than light waves, the 'mirror' of a radio

telescope is the 'dish' reflector that focuses radio waves onto its antenna,

located at the prime focus of the dish.

No, it is 3,627,000,000 miles from Earth. Now that may not be far in comparision with stars and such, but because it is so tiny, and also not in the near vicinity of a bright object (and does not itself generate light) that makes it invisible to the naked eye.

None. It's only a machine, that's been used by controllers on the ground to collect

various kinds of data, from which students and professional people in many scientific

specialties have extracted tentative conclusions that imply previously unknown facts.

Reflective and Radio telescopes gather radiation at different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that they operate, visible light for the optical telescope and Radio frequencies for the Radio telescope. But in both cases, it's electromagnetic radiation. Radio telescopes have to capture the incoming energy that's needed to be above a certain noise and gets processed in electronic circuitry. The result is plotted out as picture of which each point indicates the location at which the beam of the antenna is pointed. It has a huge dish to reflect the incoming energy like that in a reflector telescope. The same terminology can be used in reflecting telescope, but the processing is done in a CCD camera positioned at the focus of the telescope.

No, the Hubble Space Telescope did not discover Neptune. Neptune was first observed in 1846 by the astronomer Johann Galle using mathematical predictions made by Urbain Le Verrier and John Couch Adams. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 and has contributed significantly to our understanding of the universe through its observations.

No, it is not safe to look directly at the sun through a telescope as it can cause serious damage to your eyes. Always use appropriate solar filters or projection methods to safely view the sun through a telescope.

Unfortunately, photographic film is not a very efficient light

detector. Only about 2% of the light striking photographic film is

able to trigger the chemical reaction needed to produce an image.

Thus, roughly 98% of the light falling onto photographic film is

wasted.

In a telescope, CCD stands for Charge-Coupled Device. It is a sensor that converts light into electronic signals to create digital images. CCDs are commonly used in digital cameras and astronomical equipment for high-quality imaging.

Arab astronomers invented the astrolab, a device for helping them mark the positions of the planets and constellations through the seasons.

Before them the Greeks had invented the "Ankylothera" device, sort of a celestial calendar.

Prior to both of these groups Egyptians marked the ground with stones to note the position of the sun at its solstices and equinoxes. Stone henge, in England, was an astronomical observatory. There are also rock arrangements in South America American Indian observers used to note the positions of stars.

Radio telescopes, refracting telescopes, and reflecting telescopes all use mirrors or lenses to collect and focus incoming electromagnetic radiation. The main difference is the wavelength of the radiation they are designed to study – radio telescopes focus on radio waves, refracting telescopes focus on visible light, and reflecting telescopes focus on a variety of wavelengths including visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared.

right now is to explore Venus but they cant because every one go there dies after sending the information they thing they die 1st reason aliens 2nd reason tornadoes and hurricanes that's why u see circles on Venus

Optical space telescopes are not affected by atmospheric turbulence, which can distort images and limit the clarity of ground-based telescopes. Additionally, they can be positioned above the Earth's atmosphere, avoiding interference from light pollution and atmospheric absorption. This allows them to capture clearer and more detailed images of distant objects in space.

While Leonardo da Vinci did not invent the telescope, he did make some sketches of an early version of it in his notebooks. The credit for inventing the telescope is usually given to Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker, around the early 17th century. Leonardo da Vinci was a keen observer of the natural world and made significant contributions to various fields such as art, anatomy, and engineering.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are inner planets and are generally located in the eastern part of the sky in the morning and the western part of the sky in the evening. Jupiter and Saturn are typically seen in the southern part of the sky. Uranus and Neptune are outer planets and can be found in various parts of the sky depending on their position in relation to Earth.

First, check the power source to ensure it is working and connected properly. Next, inspect the lenses and mirrors for any dust or dirt that may be obstructing the view. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for troubleshooting steps.

An optical telescope collects and focuses visible light from celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies. This light is then directed to a detector or eyepiece for observation and analysis.

The Hubble Space Telescope has contributed to solving astronomical problems by providing high-resolution images and data on distant celestial objects, leading to new discoveries and better understanding of the universe. Its ability to capture clear images from above the Earth's atmosphere has allowed scientists to study phenomena such as black holes, dark matter, and the expansion of the universe.

A reflecting telescope uses a curved mirror to concentrate the light from distant stars, and is a very useful technique. There are very clever techniques and technicians, which can produce a mirror perfect over all its area, to within part of the wavelength of light!!

The alternative method of using a glass lens, suffers from various difficulties, such as distortion and loss of light.

You do not ordinarily consider focus in an astronomical telescope, for all the stellar objects are essentially at infinity.

Light years is a measure for distance, the distance light travels in one year.

For the light to travel 587 light years, it takes 587 years.

Hi. Well, I'm from America, so I'm not completely sure about this.

Can this help you?

The Skyliner-200P 203mm (8") Dobsonian Telescope, about half way down this page, £299:

Many beginners have bought that one and thought that it was perfect.

For more advanced information, read Phil Harrington's Star Ware, 4th edition (Wiley).

Buy from a store which specializes in telescopes and astronomy, either locally or online; don't buy from department stores, discount stores or eBay as mostly what they sell is junk. Find your local astronomy club and try out different telescopes at one of their star parties:

I strongly recommend that beginners steer clear of astrophotography until they have learned their way around the sky. Astrophotography is by far the most expensive and difficult area of amateur astronomy.

Many people who buy telescopes have no idea how to find interesting things to observe. A good introduction to finding things is NightWatch by Terence Dickinson (Firefly). A more advanced book is Star Watch by Phil Harrington (Wiley).
