Telescopes

The first electric telescope was not invented by a single individual, but rather it refers to a telescope that is motorized or has electronic features to aid in its operation. The specific inventor or creators of the first electric telescope are not widely credited or known.

I think that a land-based telescope has the atmosphere as an obstacle for good observations, while the space telescope hasn't, so the images taken are more defined. Moreover, the earth orbit of the space telescope allows it to get a wide range of angles.

An observatory is the name of a place that uses telescopes and other scientific equipment to study space and astronomy.

The Mount Polamar Observitory in the west of the US is an iconic example.

Today, Earth based observitories are supplimented by space telescopes.

Gravitational microlensing has not yet been used to detect planets around other stars. This method involves the gravitational deflection of light from a background star due to the presence of a foreground object, such as a planet, but no planets have been directly detected using this technique.

A reflecting telescope uses mirrors to form images of faraway objects. Light enters the telescope and is reflected off the primary mirror to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece or camera for viewing.

There are a total of 66 ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) telescopes located in the Atacama Desert in Chile. These telescopes work together as a single interferometer to observe astronomical objects in millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.

A telescope with a resolution of 10 shows more detail than a telescope with a resolution of 6. Resolution is a measure of an instrument's ability to distinguish between closely spaced objects or features in an image. A higher resolution value means that the telescope can produce sharper and more detailed images.

we are wasting time and money on pointless projects that will not even affect us unless we are announcing our existence to some aliens who want to kill us and that would be stupid because then we'd all die.

Telescopes are commonly used by astronomers to observe objects in space such as planets, stars, and galaxies. Microscopes are not typically used by astronomers as they are designed for studying very small objects on Earth, such as cells and microbes.

A radio telescope uses a wire mesh as a reflector to collect radiation from space. The mesh acts as a surface to focus electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, enabling astronomers to study celestial objects and phenomena. The collected signals are then directed to a receiver for analysis and interpretation.

A telescope is generally considered a boon as it allows us to observe and study celestial objects that are millions of light years away, providing valuable insights into the universe. However, misuse of telescopes, such as invading privacy or spying on others, can turn it into a curse.

Mountaintops are ideal for near-infrared telescopes because the high altitude reduces atmospheric interference and light pollution. Ultraviolet telescopes are placed in Earth orbit to avoid absorption of ultraviolet light by Earth's atmosphere, which allows for clearer observations of objects emitting in the ultraviolet spectrum.

To find the equivalent single-mirror diameter, you would add the individual mirror diameters and then take the square root. So for two 11m mirrors, the equivalent single-mirror diameter would be √(11m + 11m)^2 = √(242) ≈ 15.56 meters.

Some ethical or moral issues regarding the Hubble Telescope include the potential risks of space debris generated by its operation, the allocation of resources for space exploration versus other societal needs, and concerns about the impact on indigenous communities or cultures if celestial bodies are exploited for commercial gain. Additionally, there may be questions about the justification for the significant financial investment required to build and maintain the telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope works by capturing light from celestial objects using a large primary mirror and then focusing that light onto various instruments for analysis. It orbits Earth to avoid atmospheric distortion, allowing for high-resolution images across different wavelengths of light. The data collected is transmitted back to Earth for scientists to study and better understand the universe.

A larger collecting area allows more light to be gathered, which improves the ability to detect faint objects. This increased sensitivity results in better resolution and the ability to see objects that might otherwise be too dim to observe with smaller collecting areas.

One effective way to study young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds is by using infrared telescopes. Infrared light can penetrate dust clouds more easily than visible light, allowing astronomers to observe these young stars more clearly. Additionally, combining data from multiple telescopes and techniques, such as radio astronomy, can provide a more complete picture of these hidden stars.

Radio telescopes can detect and study radio waves emitted by astronomical objects in space, such as stars, galaxies, black holes, and cosmic microwave background radiation. They provide valuable insights into the composition, structure, and behavior of celestial objects that may not be observable through other wavelengths of light.

You go to C.J's room, go left, jump on the dresser,and look for the telescope.

To come back from the desk:

-- climb to the wall thermostat and walk on it to turn it into the red zone

-- go left and push over the wastebasket

-- climb on the papers floating in the updraft

The telescope coordinates for the school are on the bulletin board.

They are 87 (left dial) and 16 (right dial). When you have read C.J.'s secret note (on the kitchen table), you will see her through the telescope. You will need the Morse code book from her bed.

I hope I helped! ;)

X-ray telescopes use grazing incidence to focus X-ray photons onto a detector. By reflecting the X-rays at a very shallow angle, these telescopes can overcome the limitations faced by traditional optical telescopes in detecting X-ray emissions from astronomical sources.

Galileo's telescope was about 92.7 centimeters long. 36.5 inches long.

Refracting glass is glass that has been shaped or curved to bend light as it passes through, causing it to converge or diverge. This is used in lenses, prisms, and other optical instruments to manipulate and focus light for various applications such as in microscopes, cameras, and eyeglasses.

The shuttle that would put the Hubble into orbit finally launched on April 24, 1990.

Yes, telescopes can see Mars in detail, especially larger telescopes with higher magnification capabilities. Features such as the planet's polar ice caps, surface markings, and even some of its larger geological features can be observed when viewing Mars through a telescope.
