Q.

What astronomy tool collects visible light, then uses convex lenses to focus the light producing larger, brighter images of distant objects in space.

Q.

What astronomy tool collects visible light, then uses mirrors to focus the light producing larger, brighter images of distant objects in space.

Q. What do you call astronomy tools placed in orbit around Earth. They have special instruments and telescopes that collect information from space. This information is sent back to Earth where it is interpreted.

Q. What do you call the astronomy tool that receive radio waves emitted from objects in space, including waves from very distant stars and galaxies; it can receive information in any weather and during day or night.

Q. What do you call the astronomy tool that collects light from distant stars and separate that light into bands of different colors; by studying these bands, astronomers can identify the elements, density, and temperature of distant stars and perhaps planets.

Q. What do you call the astronomy tool that contains specialize instruments to collect data. They often travel out of Earth’s orbit to explore places that would be too dangerous for humans.

Q. What do you call the amount of matter in an object. It remains the same regardless of an object's location.

Q. What do you call the measure of gravitational pull on an object. (Mass times gravity) This changes depending on the objects location.

Q. What two factors affect the amount of gravitational pull between two objects?

Q. What two factors keep the planets in orbit around the sun?

Q. What tool do we use to measure weight?

Q. What tool do we use to measure mass?

Q. What tool do we use to split white light into its white light into the colors of the visible spectrum?

Q.

Which astronomer is given credit for the heliocentric model of our solar system?

Q.

Which astronomer turned the telescope into a valuable tool for studying outer space? He also located Jupiter's four largest moons named for him.

Q.

Which astronomer located many stars and galaxies? He also developed the three laws of planetary movement.

Q.

Which astronomer made the most precise observations that had yet been made by devising the best instruments available before the invention of the telescope.

Q.

The Hubble Telescope is a combination of which two tools astronomers use to explore the universe?

Q.

Which type of tool have astronomers sent to the surface of Venus and Mars?

Q.

Which astronomer tool do we use to learn about the composition, density, and temperatures of distant stars?
