Best Answer

It acts as a RADAR unit, sending radio waves and measuring the amount of time it takes for them to come back.

radio telescopes monitor radio signals from outer space. The signals are analysed and classified by type to determine the nature of the source and widen our knowledge of astrophysics and cosmology.

Well I know how a Reflection Telescope works. It takes the object your looking at let's say Mars and puts it through a series of mirrors usually two and magnifies it so it appears larger than with the naked eye.

Astrophotography- to record images of celestial objects, naturally, special time exposures, guiding ( to eliminate the effects of the Earth"s rotation) and specialized skills involved, not for the average shutterbug.

The telescope uses the optic lens for you to see through. The telescope uses light to display on the optic lens.

Light telescopes do one thing and one thing only; they take light that reaches earth and they magnify it. In principle telescopes are like magnifying lenses that you use to increase the size of print, or even like microscopes. They take light that is already there, and they magnify it so our weak eyes can see it. Telescopes don't do anything strange like 'extend out' somehow to capture something 'in space'. The only light that a telescope can magnify is light that has reached earth.

What impact did the first space shuttle have on the world..... as in did it make society to day different?

The space shuttle helped us to be able to go into space and find out lots of info. we did not know. Before we had the space shuttle all we had were telescopes. Telescopes were good but all that they gave us were a picture and then we had to estimate how far away things in the universe were from other things were in the universe. Now that we have the space shuttle we are able to see things that we may not have seen with the telescope. We are also able to see how far away things are from other things

No, you cannot see your house from space with a telescope. Telescopes on Earth are not powerful enough to see individual houses from space.


What items on Earth are used to look into space?

Strictly speaking, you cannot see "outer space", because space is almost entirely empty. That means that there is nothing there to reflect light back to our eyes, so we don't see anything. But to view things on the other side of the "almost entirely empty" outer space - things like moons, planets and stars - we typically use many versions of telescopes, although you can see examples of each with your bare eyes.
