Telescopes in Astronomy SCI/151 Telescopes in Astronomy Telescopes are one of the greatest inventions and have led scientists on a fantastic journey of getting closer to understanding the universe. There is no way to research and evaluate outer space without telescopes gathering all of the information that they do. This paper is going to discuss the science of telescopes and explain all of the elements relative to them. How telescopes changed our view of the universe Without telescopes

overview of the solar system. · 50 points are possible Introduction It is easy to flip to the index of an astronomy textbook to discover that‚ say‚ the Sun lies 150 million kilometers away from Earth. It is far more difficult (if not impossible)‚ however‚ to picture this distance in our mind. In this exercise‚ we will learn to access the often unpalatable distances encountered in astronomy by simply scaling the huge distances to more recognizable‚ familiar numbers. So long as every distance within

The Way Trigonometry is used in Astronomy By: Joanna Matthews Practical Applications of Advanced Mathematics Mrs. Amy Goodrum July 15‚ 2003 Abstract This report is about how trigonometry is used in Astronomy. Even though trigonometry is applied in many areas‚ such as engineering‚ chemistry‚ surveying‚ and physics‚ it is mainly used in astronomy Trigonometry is used to find the distance of stars‚ the distance from one planet to another and from one plant to the sun. It is possible to find the
