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

The telescope is one of the most magnificent inventions made in the renaissance‚ first made by Hans Lippershey in 1608. Since this invention there have been plenty of astronomy lovers that have been trying to perfection it‚ for example Galileo Galilee. Since the fist invention of the telescope bye Hans Lippershey there have been many accusations that Lippershey stole the idea from another eye maker‚ Zacharias Jansen. Jansen is credited of inventing the compound microscope. Galileo is considered

Responding to Groupthink and Faulty Reasoning at NASA The group think concept is a summary of why many times groups make poor decisions. Yes its true what they say‚ that the more 1 mind is better than 2 and 3 is better than two‚ because they can provide different opinion’s and vantage points then if it is just one or two people discussing something. Many times in a group situation lower level employees won’t consult management because they know if they do‚ the decision will get bogged down in

A few weeks ago NASA approved the work on the space telescope Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite‚ TESS‚ wich will be sent to orbit on 2017 with the mission of finding exoplanets. Exoplanets are planets that orbit a star that is not our sun‚ and until now scientists have discovered over 800 of them‚ mainly thanks to the Kepler telescope wich began working in 2009. TESS goal is to identify planets within the habitable zones of nearby stars. This mainly means planets with a solid crust and with temperatures

Persuasive Essay-NASA Space Exploration Christopher Columbus theorised that the earth was flat. We later found out that the earth was actually spherical‚ this was due to significant advancement of astronomy. Such important discoveries‚ wouldn’t be possible without‚ NASA‚ space exploration‚ advances in technology‚ scientific findings and a more broadened knowledge of the universe. The illusive idea of travelling beyond our clouds has been around before the first moon landing took place. We know

Reflecting Telescope Telescope A telescope is an instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light). The first known practical telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century‚ using glass lenses. Today‚ the reflecting telescope is considered as one of the most powerful scientific instruments ever invented. Within a few decades‚ the reflecting telescope was invented‚ which used mirrors. In the 20th

The concept of utilitarianism is that any action should create the most amount of happiness for the most number of people. Utilitarian’s believe in the principle of utility as the one universal moral code.

The telescope is an important astronomical tool that gathers and focuses electromagnetic radiation. Telescopes serve to both increase the angular size and the brightness of objects. When we speak about telescopes we are usually referring to optical telescopes‚ but many other types of telescopes also exist for other spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It is unclear as to who it was that actually invented the telescope but Galileo Galilei is credited as being the first to use a telescope for

Beatriz Pacheco Mr. Bahari Geology CP‚ Period 1 08 January 2013 NASA spends about nine point nine twenty eight billion dollars per year. I agree that spending that much amount of money is worth it and at the same time it is not worth it because of the following. I agree that it is worth the expense because with mars exploration we can discover new things in space. It may be possible to even discover other living creatures that yet they are undiscovered. It is great to send people to space
