What was made to improve the viewing in space?
Telescopes like the Hubble
How have astronomers made closer observations of the planets with telescopes?
idk im the best
Which telescope do you recommend zhumell zenith 60x600 telescope or celestron astromaster 76eq dual purpose telescope?
It's largely a matter of features and construction. Basically, the Zhumell uses a "camera tripod", which uses a "joystick" for aiming the scope. It's very "handy", but... it tends to "shift" the aim, a bit, when you "lock it down". It works ok, but... there are no "granular" adjustments, in any axis, so "tracking" a moving "object" (eg. the stars, etc) can be challenging. By comparison, the Celestron uses separate declination (eg. up/down) and azumith (left/right) controls, and the declination does have a "granular" adjustment. So, as with the "joystick", it works ok, but, again, "tracking" a moving "object" (eg. the stars, etc) can be challenging. An "equatorial mount" allows "granular" adjustments in both axises. It's a bit more expensive, and it's quite "precise", but... it's a bit of a "pain" to get it all set up and adjusted. I've had both; I still have the Zhumell Zenith.
What is a place called with big telescopes?
It doesn't have to be big telescopes, there does not even have to be a telescope. It is called an observatory because it is a place where astronomical observations are made. Long before the first telescope was made there were observatories.
How are reflecting and refracting telescopes different?
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to collect and focus light, while refracting telescopes use lenses. Reflecting telescopes typically have a closed tube design which protects the mirrors from dust and other contaminants, while refracting telescopes are more prone to chromatic aberration. Reflecting telescopes are generally easier to manufacture at larger sizes compared to refracting telescopes.
