The Telescope (Reflecting) Introduction: The true beauty of the universe cannot be seen by just the naked eye‚ the telescope is controversially the most important optical instrument in history. Telescopes are widely used around the world and come in different shapes‚ sizes and go by a variety of different names. They can be used to detect noise and sound and even be used to study the stars and supernovas but are more commonly used to gain another perspective into space‚ watching planets such

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

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

Telescopes in Astronomy Once upon a time‚ we believed the Earth was at the center of our universe. We were seriously mistaken. We have come to find that at the center of most galaxies is a giant black hole that keeps everything together. With the use of telescopes‚ we have made it possible to see the “impossible”. We are able to see the geographic landscape of distant planets and moons. Telescopes have made it possible to measure the speed of light‚ understand gravity‚ and grasp other laws of physics

Galileo Galilei | Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to use a telescope to study the heavens. Galileo made a number of observations that finally helped convince people that the Sun-centered solar system model (the heliocentric model)‚ as proposed by Copernicus‚ was correct. What is a Galilean telescope? The original design Galileo Galilei came up with in 1609 is commonly called a Galilean telescope. Galileo’s telescope with which Jupiter’s moons could be observed was made with a plano convex

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

“A Hubble Space Telescope photograph of the universe evokes far more awe for creation than light streaming through a stained glass window in a cathedral.” We know more about our universe than we ever have thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope’s clear crisp photos of objects far away in space. “Earth’s atmosphere alters and blocks the light that comes from space. Hubble orbits above Earth’s atmosphere‚ which gives it a better view of the universe than telescopes have at ground level.” (NASA‚ 2009)

Telescopes are considered to be an instrument that makes distant objects to appear closer‚ (Northwestern‚ 2012). These instruments have assisted scientists and astronomers in their studies of the universe. With the use of a telescope the studies have changed and become easier to study. This paper will provide information on how the telescope has changed the views of the universe‚ designs of telescopes‚ ground-based telescopes‚ strengths and weaknesses of the location of the telescope‚ different frequencies
