Section 2 Telescopes Chapter 18 Telescopes A Telescope is an instrument that gathers electromagnetic radiation from objects in space and concentrates it for better observation. There are many different types of telescopes: Optical: including reflecting and refracting Non-Optical: which detect radiation that cannot be seen by the human eye: such as radio, infared, ultraviolet, & x-ray telescopes

Section 2 Telescopes Chapter 18 Optical Telescopes Refracting Telescopes Telescopes that use lenses to gather and focus light are called refracting telescopes. Reflecting Telescope A telescope that uses a curved mirror to gather and focus light is called a reflecting telescope. Use a series of mirrors, lenses, or a combination of the two to magnify the image formed by light.

Section 2 Telescopes Chapter 18 Optical Telescopes Refracting Telescopes Disadvantages: Distortion of color which prevents clear images Size of objective lense will distort images because of gravity Reflecting Telescope Advantages: Mirrors can be large without sacrificing clarity Curved mirrors are polished which does not allow light to enter the glass Mirrors focus all colors to a focal point.

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of all of the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. Detecting Electromagnetic Radiation Visible light is only a small band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X rays, and gamma rays— are invisible to the human eye.

Because radio wavelengths are much larger than optical wavelengths, radio telescopes must be very large. In most radio telescopes, a curved metal dish gathers and focuses radio waves to an antenna which then produces an image on a computer Does not have to be as flawless as the optical lenses and mirrors Linking Radio Telescopes Astronomers can get more detailed images of the universe by linking radio telescopes together. Working together, the telescopes function as a single giant telescope.

Infared Telescopes: must be placed in space because the water vapor in the Earth’s atmosphere absorbs the low-energy photons UV telescopes: use reflectors as collectors of light, the Earth’s ozone layer block’s their reception X-ray telescopes: least able to pass though the Earth’s atmosphere

Section 3 Mapping the Stars Chapter 18 Finding Stars in the Night Sky You can describe the location of a star or planet by using an instrument called an astrolabe and the following points of reference: The zenith is the point in the sky directly above on observer on Earth. The altitude is the angle between an object in the sky and the horizon. The horizon is the line where the sky and the Earth appear to meet.

Thus, he thought that the stars must be much farther away than the planets. Measuring Distance in Space A light-year is a unit of length equal to the distance that light travels in 1 year.

ResourcesChapter menu Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Passage 1 In the early Roman calendar, a year had exactly 365 days. The calendar worked well until people realized that the seasons were beginning and ending later each year. To fix this problem, Julius Caesar developed the Julian calendar based on a day calendar year. He added 90 days to the year 46 BCE and added an extra day every 4 years. A year in which an extra day is added to the calendar is called a leap year. Continued on next slide Chapter 18 Standardized Test Preparation

ResourcesChapter menu Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Passage 1, continued In the mid-1500s, astronomers determined that there are actually days in a year, so Pope Gregory XIII developed the Gregorian calendar. He dropped 10 days from the year 1582 and restricted leap years to years that are divisible by 4 but not by 100 (except for years that are divisible by 400). Today, most countries use the Gregorian calendar. Chapter 18 Standardized Test Preparation

Chapter 18 Standardized Test Preparation Passage 2 The earliest known evidence of astronomical observations is a group of stones near Nabta in southern Egypt that is between 6,000 and 7,000 years old. According to archeoastronomers, some of the stones are positioned such that they would have lined up with the sun during the summer solstice 6,000 years ago. The summer solstice occurs on the longest day of the year. At the Nabta site, the noonday sun is at its zenith (directly overhead) for about three weeks before and after the summer solstice. Continued on next slide

ResourcesChapter menu Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Chapter 18 Standardized Test Preparation Passage 2, continued When the sun is at its zenith, upright objects do not cast shadows. For many civilizations in the Tropics, the zenith sun has had ceremonial significance for thousands of years. The same is probably true for the civilizations that used the Nabta site. Artifacts found at the site near Nabta suggest that the site was created by African cattle herders. These people probably used the site for many purposes, including trade, social bonding, and ritual.
