What are the advantages of large telescopes?
One advantage of large telescopes is their ability to collect more light, allowing them to see fainter, more distant objects in the universe. This allows astronomers to make important discoveries and deepen our understanding of the universe.
Why do astronomers want telescopes in space when installing them there is expensive?
Astronomers want telescopes in space because they can provide sharper, more precise images than telescopes on Earth. This is due to the absence of atmospheric distortions in space. Although the costs are high, space telescopes can also enable important discoveries that would not be possible with terrestrial telescopes.
What are some examples of wavelength regions beyond the visible light spectrum where astronomers can learn more about the universe?
Two examples of wavelength regions beyond the visible light spectrum where astronomers can learn more about the universe are radio waves and x-rays. Radio waves can help detect gas emissions in galaxies, while X-rays can help detect black holes and neutron stars.
