SPACE TECH

What is a satellite?

• Object placed in orbit around the moon to gather data and send it back to Earth.
• Rover placed on mars in order to collect data.
• Object placed in orbit around the Earth to gather data and send it back to Earth.

Where is a space probe usually placed?

• In Earth's orbit.
• Out of Earth's orbit

A spectroscope or a spectrometer is an instrument which is used for separating the components of light into different wavelengths. Astronomers often use spectroscopes and the resulting emission spectra to

• identify elements found in distant stars

• determine how fast an object is moving

• determine relative distances in space

• identify dark matter and black holes

Why is the Hubble telescope located in space rather than on the surface of earth?

• So it can be closer to the stars it magnifies
• They have very large optical lenses
• So its images arent distorted by Earth's atmosphere 
• So it can be operated by astronauts
