Allie asked:


Why do you think that X-ray telescopes cannot use the same kind of mirrors as optical or radio telescopes? Describe what you expect to happen when an X-ray photon encounters a “normal” mirror.

So for my science class, I have to write a paper on how a telescope works, when it was invented, and one modern telescope that’s helped us in the past 100 years..
I have how they work and when they were made. But I’m stuck on the modern part now,
help? Haha, thank you so much!

George M asked:


Any suggestions for purchasing a telescope? I have a house in the desert where there is very little city lights at night and one in the hills above San Francisco Bay that has moderate night light. I would like to be able to use the telescope both places and would like to get one that has some power.

ghdsklabk asked:


What is the size of the lense or whatever thats normal on most telescopes you buy at the local supermarket and stuff?

Because I wanna buy one to look the moons surface and stuff and stars but I’m not exactly sure how close I will be able to see them…
Can you tell me how I can tell how good a telescope is by its technical specifications?
Yes, I know I dont have any expierience, lol.

I’m 15 and I’m just interested to see whats up there. Possibly considering doing sometihng with it when I’m in college.

How much would a half decent telescope cost? And not being too expensive. And are they worth wild, can you see much interesting things with them? Would love to get into that hobby, and feedback would be great. Thanks.

asked:


If a star is 1 million light years away I’m assuming that it means it’s the distance light would travel in a million years. How then can we even see anything. I mean how is light reaching us or even how can our telescopes see a cosmic horizon which is billions of light years away. Would it take a extraordinarily long time for our telescopes to reach them since their so far away and just view them or am I thinking about this wrong?
