Telescopes

You can't buy observing time on the Hubble. It's given free of charge. all you

have to do is write up a proposal that describes what you intend to do with it,

and how that will contribute to the investigation of any hot topic in Astronomy,

Cosmololgy, Relativity, or Planetary formation that the professionals are all

working on. If the organization that controls access to the Hubble feels that

your work can make a useful contribution to modern scientific research, they'll

give you the time on the Hubble that you'll need for it.

It is a telescope with a mount that has a GoTo system in it. It is like a small computer that you put in what object you want to see (eg. The Orion nebula) and then the telescope points at the object

The ability of a telescope to separate 2 closely spaced stars is called resolving power or angular resolution. This refers to the telescope's ability to distinguish fine details in an image, such as two closely spaced objects.

A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]

It's important to keep a constant temperature because materials expand or contract depending upon how hot they are. Should one region of the telescope become hotter than the rest, it will change it's shape more, and distort the mirror, reducing the clarity of any images.

We're unable to see your paper, and since you didn't offer any options, we're not able to guess what choices you have.

A kaleidoscope is similar to a telescope in shape, but instead of magnifying distant objects, it creates intricate patterns by reflecting light off colored glass or other objects inside the tube. Viewing through a kaleidoscope produces a mesmerizing and symmetrical display of shapes and colors.

The earth's orbit is the path along which the earth travels around the sun.

The earth's axis is always inclined to its orbital plane at an angle of 66 and a half degree.

Galileo first used the telescope to study planets in 1609, when he heard about the invention of the telescope in the Netherlands and built his own version of it. He observed the planets, including Jupiter and its moons, which led to significant advancements in the field of astronomy.

Galileo observed phases of Venus, which were only possible if Venus orbited the Sun and not Earth, supporting the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus. This observation was a key piece of evidence in favor of the heliocentric theory.

actually you can, but it all depends on the weather. In 2006, you could see Discovery docking with the International Space Station during the twilight hours in clear weather.

"The appearance of either the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station moving across the sky is not in itself unusual. Truth be told, on any clear evening within a couple of hours of local sunset and with no optical aid, you can usually spot several orbiting Earth satellites creeping across the sky like moving stars. Satellites become visible only when they are in sunlight and the observer is in deep twilight or darkness. This usually means shortly after dusk or before dawn".

Eris can be seen in a telescope when it is at its closest approach to Earth, typically during opposition when it is opposite the Sun in the sky. Eris is located in the outer solar system in the Kuiper Belt, so it is quite small and faint, requiring a large telescope and dark skies to observe.

In this sentence, "In 1609" and "Galileo" would be classified as a time period and a proper noun, respectively.

At the time, using a telescope to observe the night sky was a new and controversial idea. Many astronomers were skeptical of Galileo's findings and methods, preferring to rely on traditional instruments and observations. Additionally, telescopes were expensive and not widely available, which may have limited their adoption among fellow astronomers.

Three problems come to mind: 1. Light polution -- harder and harder to find a truly dark place on the Earth's surface, and the atmosphere carries the light, so you can't really fix the problem by repositioning. 2. Atmostphere. The atmosphere absords a LOT of light. 3. Weight of the optics. Large enough mirror optics distort under their own weight. While formulation can get around this to some extent, it presents a difficult problem that doesn't occur in zero G.

Yes, "Telescope" is a compound word made up of the two words "tele" and "scope."

Galileo made several important discoveries with his telescope, including the four largest moons of Jupiter (now known as the Galilean moons), the phases of Venus, sunspots on the Sun, and mountains and craters on the Moon. These observations provided evidence to support the heliocentric model of the solar system and challenged the geocentric view of the universe.

There are fundamentalists in many faiths. First of all, the person that you are speaking with must accept that what your seeing is 6000 light years away. To my surprise I have had some creationist say that the Earth APPEARS to be as old as it is but that 6000 years ago God made it LOOK that way. Can you also believe that in the Bible it says that the Moon shines over the night and that is why some say that the Moon irradiates light?

If you and your adversary do not have common ground to start on then your debate is no longer a debate but an argument.

Start with what you have in common first then go from there.

A binocular telescope is a type of telescope that is designed for viewing with both eyes simultaneously. It offers a more immersive and three-dimensional viewing experience compared to a monocular telescope. Binocular telescopes are often used for astronomy, bird watching, and other outdoor activities.

The largest refracting telescope in Wisconsin is located at the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay. Built in the 1890s, the Yerkes Observatory's 40-inch refracting telescope is one of the largest of its kind and was once the largest in the world.

Space junk is not really a discovery. Humans put it there. We've got large quantities of junk orbiting our planet because we don't pick up after ourselves. It's not really any more of a discovery than litter is. There's no Christopher Columbus of litter, and that's basically what space junk is. So I can't really tell you who.

Newton realized that mirrors do not cause chromatic aberrations, and built a telescope using them.

Ability to detect radio waves is not a property of optical telescopes. Optical telescopes are designed to detect and focus visible light to form images of distant objects in space. Radio telescopes, on the other hand, are specifically designed to detect and study radio waves emitted by celestial objects.
