One of the issues created by the air surrounding us is:

• Interferometry

• Reflection

• Interference

• Atmospheric blurring

Which of these is a process that is unique to radio telescopes?

• Spectrometry

• Inferferometry

• Photometry

• Photography

Why is the Hubble telescope located in space?

• 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 

A telescope that uses lenses and mirrors to collect and focus visible light is called an...

• Refracting Telescope

• Reflecting Telescope

• Optical Telescope

• Radio Telescope

Why must Ultra-Violet observing be done in space?

• The ozone blocks most of the UV rays in the surface.

• It’s hard to know exactly where the ozone hole will be to find UV images

• It’s hard to use UV telescopes and radio telescopes together on the surface.

• It’s hard to use UV X-Ray telescopes and radio telescopes together on the surface
