Estrellas y galaxias: herramientas de la astrología

The video tutorial explores how astronomers have learned about the universe despite vast distances in space. It introduces astronomy and the role of astronomers, highlighting the development and use of telescopes. Various types of telescopes, including refractive, radio, and space telescopes like the Hubble, are discussed. The video also explains the advantages of space telescopes and concludes with a summary of the tools astronomers use to study space.

What is the primary focus of astronomy?

• The study of ocean currents

• The study of human anatomy

• The study of objects in space

• The study of Earth's atmosphere

What is the main function of a refractive telescope?

• To detect radio waves

• To measure the temperature of stars

• To capture sound waves from space

• To gather and focus light using lenses

Where are the most powerful telescopes typically housed?

• In underground bunkers

• In small laboratories

• In observatories

• In space shuttles

What is a unique feature of the Hubble telescope?

• It is located underground

• It is mounted on a satellite orbiting Earth

• It uses sound waves to capture images

• It is the smallest telescope ever built

Why are images from the Hubble telescope more detailed?

• Because it uses a special type of film

• Because it is closer to the sun

• Because it is above Earth's atmosphere

• Because it is larger than other telescopes
