There are many different telescopes. All of which collect __________ from all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum transmitted to Earth from space including visible light, radio waves, x-rays, microwaves and much more.
a) electromagnetic radiation
b) visible light
c) spectrographs
d) seismic waves
What kind of space technology uses convex lenses?
a) refracting telescope
b) reflecting telescope
c) radio telescope
d) space probes
Which of the following best explains why scientists use space probes to collect data on Mars?
a) Space probes are used to explore places that would be too dangerous for astronomers.
b) Space probes are used to explore places that are to distant for telescopes to see.
c) Space probes are used to explore places where Earth’s atmosphere does not effect signals.
d) Space probes are used to explore distance galaxies because they are too far away for satellites to see.

Which of the following best explains why expensive satellites and space observatories such as the Hubble Space Telescope are placed in orbit around Earth to collect information from space?
a) Data gathered from satellites and space observatories in space are not affected by gases in Earth’s atmosphere.
b) Data gathered from satellites and space observatories in space are closer to distant celestial objects.
c) Data gathered from satellites and space observatories in space are safer for astronauts than on Earth.
d) Data gathered from satellites and space observatories in space safer from solar radiation from the Sun.
Some telescopes detect wavelengths of energy of 10ᶟ m from very distant stars and galaxies that can be used to produce images about the composition, structure and motion of celestial objects. What type of energy was this telescope detecting?
a) microwaves
b) radio
c) gamma rays
d) visible
Radio telescopes, receive waves from very distant stars and galaxies. Then the radio waves are used to produce images to be analyzed. Which of the following best explains the advantage of studying space using radio telescopes?
a) Radio telescopes receive radio waves from space by being placed in orbit around Earth to explore places that would be too dan
b) Radio telescopes receive radio waves from distant stars and galaxies by separating light into bands of different colors.
c) Radio telescopes receive radio waves from space only where Earth’s atmosphere does not block or absorb the signals.
d) Radio telescopes receive radio waves from space without being placed into orbit or experiencing interference from Earth's atm
