Há 20 horas · With a Galilean telescope, the observer could see magnified, upright images on the Earth—it was what is commonly known as a terrestrial telescope or a spyglass. He could also use it to observe the sky; for a time he was one of those who could construct telescopes good enough for that purpose.
Há 3 dias · Although he did not invent the telescope, he made significant improvements to it that enabled astronomical observation. What discoveries did Galileo make? In 1610 Galileo discovered the four biggest moons of Jupiter (now called the Galilean moons ) and the rings of Saturn .

Há 3 dias · Erik Gregersen. James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), satellite observatory designed as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and launched by an Ariane 5 rocket in 2021. The JWST has a mirror 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter, seven times larger than that of the HST.
Há 20 horas · Planck was a space observatory operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) from 2009 to 2013. It was an ambitious project that aimed to map the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at microwave and infrared frequencies, with high sensitivity and angular resolution. The mission was highly successful and substantially improved ...
Há 2 dias · The European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is a revolutionary scientific project for a 40m-class telescope that will allow us to address many of the most pressing unsolved questions about our Universe.
