and improved upon. His improved version was a telescope. According to James Owen, “..but his version boosted the viewing power to eight-times magnification(James Owen).” This shows that Galileo made the telescope stronger so people can see distant objects. His telescope was better than the ones at the time. Also Victoria Jaggard wrote, “But in the fall of 1609 Galileo turned his telescope to the heavens, setting into a new kind of science, telescope astronomy(Victoria Jaggard).” In other words…

trader. Galileo father wanted Galileo to study medicine. Galileo want to study Jesuit monastery so he did study Jesuit monastery. Galileo was 17 year old he entered the University of Pisa to study medicine. Galileo invented and approve telescope. Galileo use the telescope to observe the first phase of…

with popularizing the astronomical telescope by being “the first to point to the sky” in the early 1600s. In general, the larger the telescope is, the more light you can collect to see farther into the cosmos. The Laws Observatory is equipped with a telescope that has a lens measuring 16 inches in diameter. In comparison, the largest telescope in the world currently has a lens over 10 meters wide. Modern observatories do not use domes because they have…

It was a time of great change known to be as the Renaissance. The telescope played a huge factor during this time. It helped shape a new view in progress leaning towards a better future for our world. Majority of the countries within Europe this time provided famous and influential people who have shaped our world today…

Galilei was an Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist. Who then died on January 8, 1642. He was a man of many talents who was able to invent his own telescope. He invented his first telescope in 1609, Galileo built on the work of others to create a telescope with around 3x magnification, he later improved on this to make telescopes with around 30x magnification. He was also put on trial by the Holy Office and was ordered to turn himself in for holding the belief that the Earth revolves…

This is my report.The Hubble Telescope does not travel to stars, planets or galaxies. It takes pictures of them as it whirls around Earth at about 27 000 kilometers per hour. But there were five missions that went to the Hubble Space Craft. All of the missions were servicing missions where they upgraded the Hubble space craft so that it would operate for a longer time because it was making so many interesting discoveries.The Hubble Space Telescope is unmanned. A unmanned spacecraft is when no…

The bigger the aperture of the lens the more light it collects. They allow objects from a distance to become magnified, clearer, and brighter. Most Refracting telescopes use two main lens, the objective lens, which is a convex lens that are thicker in the middle than the edges for different refraction of light and goes at one end of the tube, and the eyepiece for viewing, on the opposite end, which is also a convex…

smaller the area, the brighter an image would be. In a telescope, the magnifying power is the ratio…

which was our bright spot. By pointing our “telescopes” in the direction of the moon, we recorded how many stars we saw, but it was evident that the moon did reduce the number of stars our eyes were able to detect. The same process was repeated, but instead of pointing the “telescope” towards the moon, we pointed it in the direction of a dark area and counted the stars. Lastly, we used a a PLOSSL 40mm telescope to assist our count. By using the telescope, many stars that were too dim to the…
