Telescope

This was during a time when telescopes didn’t give a clear image. Newton came up with the idea of replacing the mirrors in a refracting telescope with lenses. This new telescope was much more powerful than the refracting, and one tenth different in size. Newton also discovered the color spectrum. He used a glass prism, and light to create this experiment…

discoveries . Galileo invented the the telescope in 1609 and 1610 he made some great discoveries. For example the milky way was one of his great discoveries and it Stated that “the milky way is made up of of innumerable stars”(Rauindra). Also he discovered sunspots as well as the phases of Venus. Not only do the say he was a man of lots of intelligence about space but also…

Alien Hunting A giant telescope has been built in order to find extra terrestrial life. It took a total of 5 years to build and cost 180 million dollars. It takes up as much space as 30 football fields. It was built in China by the Chinese Government, Mainly using drones. It was built as far away from civilization as possible as to not get interference. It is called the Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope or FAST for short. Fast was designed to detect strange occurrences in space.…

Who knew, that our stars string together to form the most unique, odd, and compelling shapes and figures. You, probably have heard of the Big dipper, Little Dipper, Ursa Minor, Ursa Major, and Orion. These are the most well known and popular constellations and asterisms. An asterism is a group of stars that is not a constellation, but is well known by many astronomers. The history of how constellations came to be is amazing. Things including people, the discovery, why they were used, and how…

that for every story he deems marvelous, he would grant the Shaykh one-third of the merchant's blood. Once all of the Shaykhs have told their story, the Jinni grants forgiveness to the merchant. This myth could be analyzed in a “Microscope and Telescope” point of view, as described by Wendy Doniger. When the Jinni first appears, he has a microscopic view of the situation. He sees that his son has been killed, and feels that he must take revenge. While only looking at the minor details of the…

see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky and you can see those objects in more and more detail. But scientists believe that there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on…

absolutely impossible for life to exist there. Thus in order to search for second earth, the first thing to do is detecting Earth-sized and smaller planets in the habitable zone of stars. NASA’s Kepler Mission aims at this goal using the powerful telescope Kepler. Kepler is designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover dozens of Earth-size…

Everyone at some point has dreamed of outer space, and usually at the forefront of those dreams is exploring distant alien planets in advanced starships and making new discoveries that change the way we think about the universe around us. You may think that this is something of a far off dream or pure science fiction but it’s not. Thanks to the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1995 scientists are doing just that every day.. They may not have starships and be zooming around the universe at…

Lee in 1989, but had grown into hypertext, a read only system of distributed documents linking by 1990 making it able to use. The Pentinium Processor enabled the types of computer applications we use today, which was released in 1993. The Hubble Telescope, launched in 1990, considered by many as the key to the eyes of the Universe and its study of extraterrestrial…

Zeiss Telescope and to see the planet Saturn, just barely being able to make out the rings. This moment was deeply rooted in my mind as I visited the observatory on January 16th of this year with my mother Jeannie. I realized that my most recent trip to the observatory would not only be a pleasant activity for the weekend, but would bare an underlying tinge of nostalgia as well. The Griffith Observatory…
