Telescopes and Space Exploration

What is the purpose of a telescope?

• To see things that can't be seen with our eyes

• To make objects look bigger

• To observe space mysteries

• All of the above

Why do engineers design new telescopes?

• To solve new problems and challenges

• To observe space mysteries

• To make objects look bigger

• To see things that can't be seen with our eyes

Why do objects look blurry or fuzzy when observed through a telescope?

• Because of the shape of the lenses and mirrors

• Because of the air between the telescope and the object

• Because of the distance of the object from Earth

• Because of the design of the telescope

What is the advantage of space telescopes over telescopes on Earth?

• They can see further into space

• They can observe space mysteries

• All of the above

• They can see things that can't be seen with our eyes

Where is the James Webb Space Telescope located?

• In space

• On a mountain

• On Earth

• At Sam's observatory

What is the primary function of the mirrors in a space telescope?

• To reflect light into the telescope

• To make the telescope look bigger

• To protect the telescope from space debris

• To help the telescope move in space

What is the significance of the James Webb Space Telescope's large size?

• It allows the telescope to collect more light

• It makes the telescope more visible from Earth

• It allows the telescope to see further into space

• All of the above

What is the role of the sunshield in the James Webb Space Telescope?

• To protect the telescope from the Sun's heat

• To make the telescope look bigger

• To help the telescope move in space

• To reflect light into the telescope

Why is the James Webb Space Telescope positioned at the second Lagrange point (L2)?

• Because it is the closest point to Earth

• Because it provides a clear view of the universe

• Because it is the farthest point from the Sun

• Because it is the most stable point in space

What is the benefit of the James Webb Space Telescope's infrared technology?

• It allows the telescope to see through dust clouds

• It makes the telescope more visible from Earth

• It allows the telescope to see further into space

• All of the above
