Satellites are made by 3 types of organizations:
# Commercial Companies (e.g. Telecommunication) # Governments (e.g. NASA, ROSKOSMOS, ESA) # Universities and other scientific institutes. Each of course for there own business or research.
How was the telescope discovered?
The telescope was invented by somebody who was toying with two lenses and while looking through them he saw that distant objects in the sky were magnified a great many times.
He jumped up and down while shouting "Hurray, hurray, I just invented the telescope. Long may I live!"
Telescopes can not detect any radiation for which they were not specifically built. For example, a radio telescope is specifically designed to detect radio waves. Also, telescopes can not detect radiation that is too faint for them. What is too faint depends on the capabilities of the telescope.
Where can you see pictures of the equipment left behind on the moon?
NASA sent a probe to the moon in 2009 which, among other things, took pictures of each of the Apollo landing sites. Searching NASA for Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images should yield the images in question.
Why did Galileo make the telescope?
They didn't know what the telescope was. It was an accident. They called it the telescope, and tried to figure out what it did. They figured out that it can see far away. They (hans lippershey,and others) sold it to the military, and further more found out it could see farther. They looked so far they saw space, and they started inventing different galaxies.
When were telescopes used to see and to photograph the planets Neptune Uranus and Pluto?
Saturn was the outermost planet known until William Herschel discovered Uranus in the late 18th Century, so unless you count this as ancient, it would be inaccurate to say that the ancients could 'see' the planets beyond Saturn.
Telescopes are first definitely attested in the early 17th Century. Photography in the modern sense (using a camera to record sharp images on a light-sensitive film, as opposed to more basic forms like the pinhole camera) didn't exist until the early 19th Century.
I'm guessing that your question arises from the (quite sensible) assumption that all of the planets were named by the ancients, but this is not the case. The 'trans-Saturnian' (if you'll pardon the term) planets were named after Greek and Roman deities by later astronomers.
Interestingly, Uranus and Pluto are named after Greek gods, rather than the Roman gods that give the other planets their names. I suppose that 'Caelus' and 'Dis Pater' didn't quite have the same ring to them.
Hope this helps.
What are the colors of Neptune?
Neptune appears blue due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere, which absorbs red light and reflects blue light. The planet also has bands of darker blue and white clouds caused by different atmospheric compositions and temperatures.
What does an image of Sirius the Dog Star look like in UV wavelengths?
Go to youtube and search......face of a dog in a star....I took this video and was told that it was sirius, or the dog star. I can't argue with that because it looks like a dog.
I searched everywhere to find what a pic of the dog face in dog star looks like and came up with nothing. Maybe I am the first one to actually photograph it.
What type of telescope does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes do not use visual light energy. Instead, they detect radio waves emitted by celestial objects in space. These telescopes are used to study various astronomical phenomena, such as pulsars and galaxies.
What two words are the abridgement for a parsec?
parallax second When we observe a star from opposite ends of the Earth's orbit, if there is a parallax difference of 1 arc second, that star is 1 parsec away.
The telescope sent into space to capture sharper and clearer images of planets, stars, and deep space is called the Hubble Space Telescope.
What are the disadvantages of telescopes?
Some disadvantages of telescopes include limited field of view, susceptibility to atmospheric conditions such as turbulence and light pollution, and the need for regular maintenance and calibration to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, high-quality telescopes can be expensive and may require specialized expertise to operate effectively.
Which planet is the largest out of the following Mars Neptune Earth or Mercury?
Saturn is the second largest planet behind jupiter! The sizes from smallest to largest are Pluto and Charon (which is actually a dwarf planet) Mercury Mars Venus Earth Neptune Uranus Saturn Jupiter the answer is D. Venus, Neptune, Saturn
Who was the first person took in the sputik?
The sputnik series of satellites were unmanned. Sputnik II carried an expendable dog.
What is the difference between modern telescopes and and Isaac Newton's reflecting telescope?
The first microscopes were called Light Microscopes, and they work by passing visible light through whatever specimen is being observed and then through the glass lenses of the microscope. The lenses refract the light and magnify the image of the specimen as it is projected into the eye. Modern microscopes use beams of electrons instead of light. There are two main type of Electron Microscopes: Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). SEMs are used to observe the surface of a specimen, and TEMs are used to observe the internal structure of specimens.
What does the word telescope mean in greek language?
A telescope is an instrument with curved mirrors and lenses to make distant objects appear closer.
How much of the universe have humans explored with telescopes?
Based on chemical spectography, which is the maximum science we can use presently, we have "seen" approximately 1.25% of what "we think" are the range parameters of the universe. The farthest we've seen through spectography (much farther than visual or radiotelescopy) is about 600 billion light years away. Do the math - too many zero's for me.
What is the expected lifespan of Chandra X-ray Observatory?
Prior to being launched into space on 23 Jul 1999 on STS-93, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) was given an expected lifetime of 5 years. In September 2001 NASA extended the CXO's lifetime to 10 years "based on the observatory's outstanding results."
Physically the observatory could last for much longer. A study performed at the Chandra X-ray Center indicated that the CXO could last at least 15 years.
Because current technology cannot significantly improve upon the resolving power of Chandra's mirrors, it's unlikely that another x-ray observatory will be launched before 2015. So we'll probably get to see just how long Chandra can last.
Large telescopes are often housed where?
Large telescopes are often housed in observatories located in remote and high-altitude areas to minimize light pollution and atmospheric interference. These locations provide clearer skies and better visibility for astronomical observations.
What type of telescope is the hubble telescope?
The Hubble telescope was a basic reflector telescope with a 94.5 ft mirror. The Hubble collects light though its open end, the primary mirror reflects the light to a secondary mirror that then reflects the light through a hole in the primary mirror to a focal point of the instruments or eyes of the Hubble.
In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the biggest telescopes on Earth operate?
The biggest telescopes on Earth typically operate in the optical and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. These telescopes are used to study a wide range of celestial objects, from planets and stars to galaxies and quasars.
Can you get pregnant if you swallow the sperm?
Semen generally contains sperm cells, and it is the sperm cells in the semen that cause pregnancy. However, if the man has had a successful vasectomy or had his testes removed, his semen will not contain sperm cells.
How much does a reflecting telescope cost?
The cost of a reflecting telescope can vary greatly depending on the size, brand, and quality of the telescope. Entry-level reflecting telescopes can start at around $200, while more advanced models can cost several thousand dollars or more.
Why can you see venus on earth in the night sky?
Duh.. simply because during the night time if you look inside of a telescope and look out of it you'll see the big and Lil dipper but you'll also see Venus glowing because it isn't night time yet on Venus because it takes 225 days on earth for Venus to become Unable to see so you can't see Venus glow every 225 days on earth
