  1. Earth-based & Space-based Telescopes By: Casey Ostendorf & Nick Frock

  2. In records, it show that the invention of the telescope falls in the hands of Hans Lippershey. On the other hand, Galileo was the first person to use a telescope; as well as look at astronomical objects, record his observations & gain information. Sadly Lippershey, doesn’t really get the acknowledgement for creating the telescope. • Telescopes are used in many different fields of study, they allow scientist to see images from far away, in a better detailed image. Also, allow you to see far in distance as well as close up. Scientist are able to gather information and learn from it, without having to go there themselves. TELESCOPES IN GENERAL

  3. Earth-based Telescopes • Earth-based telescopes have a hard time getting good images because they have to go through the atmosphere of the earth plus deal with the weather in the area, via clouds, fog, storms, & sunny days. As well as go through the space environment as well. • Earth-based telescopes have many pros when it comes to its location. Being located on earth, they are better kept, easy to work on, cheaper than Space-based, and easy to use. Where as, Space-based is hard to get to and keep maintained. • With new technology evolving each day, we are starting to gather more & better information from our earth-based telescopes. Astronomers have created two new telescopes, The Gemini Twins. That are already matching & outperforming the Hubble Space Telescope. This is a beginning to many new discoveries and more information. Astronomers have photographed Pluto, known as our farthest planet & its moon, Charon. This has never been seen or done by two earth-based telescopes before.

  4. The planet Saturn & its Moon, Titan. It was captured by one of the Gemini Twins while using Near-infrared imager. An image of what is called the “Firework Galaxy” which is located on the borders between the constellation of Cepheus and Cygnus. Images from Earth-based Telescopes. • One of the Gemini Twins captured what seems to be an image of a vast cloud complex, but with the latest research it indicates that it is really two gas & dust clouds formed by different types of supernova explosions.

  5. Space-based Telescopes • Space-based telescopes have the better advantage when gathering information and getting pictures. Since they are above the atmosphere it allows it to observe different things more clearly and many more different things. • They also cost a lot more when it comes to maintaining it and buying new lens and other important material for the telescope. Plus, it is harder to get to and sometimes some telescopes in space are never maintained because of how difficult it is to get up there and do everything. http://video.yahoo.com/watch/8223159?fr=yvmtf

  6. The Hubble Space Telescope and The Spitzer Space Telescope teamed up to create an amazing deep sky images ever. Focusing both telescopes at the Orion Nebula let astronomers create this amazing image. The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of NGC 3603, which is a giant nebula. It hosts one of the massive young clusters in the Milky Way, which supplies a prime template for star formation studies Images from Hubble! • This picture is one of the most unusual stellar formations, Eta Carinae. This picture has completely surprised astronomers. It is a variable blue stellar object, that is many times more massive than our Sun.

  7. Why are they Important?! • Both of these telescopes help scientists understand the atmosphere and space. It helps us analyze and gather information about the things that are happening in space.
