6 Observing the Universe How do scientists use the electromagnetic spectrum to study the universe? What types of telescopes and technology are used to explore space?
7 Observing the Universe electromagnetic spectrum refracting telescope reflecting telescope radio telescope
8 Observing the Sky Telescopes enable astronomers to observe many more stars than they could with their eyes alone. telescope from Greek tele, means far ; and Greek skopos, means seeing
9 Observing the Sky (cont.) Astronomers use many kinds of telescopes to study the light energy emitted by stars and other objects in space. Michael Matisse/Getty Images
10 Electromagnetic Waves Stars radiate energy into space. This energy travels as electromagnetic waves. The entire range of radiant energy carried by electromagnetic waves is the electromagnetic spectrum.
11 Most wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum are not visible to the human eye.
12 Electromagnetic Waves (cont.) The type of radiant energy a star emits depends on the star s temperature. Some stars are so far away that it takes billions of years for their radiant energy to reach Earth.
13 Earth-Based Telescopes Optical telescopes gather visible light. Refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes are the two types of optical telescopes.
14 A telescope that uses a convex lens to concentrate light from a distant object is a refracting telescope.
15 Earth-Based Telescopes (cont.) Which electromagnetic waves do refracting telescopes collect?
16 A telescope that uses a curved mirror to concentrate light from a distant object is a reflecting telescope.
17 Earth-Based Telescopes (cont.) Radio telescopes collect invisible radio waves and some microwaves. They look like TV satellite dishes. Steve Allen/Brand X Pictures
18 Telescopes in space collect energy of all wavelengths, including those absorbed by Earth s atmosphere.
19 Space Telescopes Why do astronomers put some telescopes in space?
20 Space Telescopes (cont.) The first optical space telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope, is a reflecting telescope that orbits Earth. CORBIS
21 Scheduled for launch in 2014, the Webb telescope will help astronomers study the origin of the universe.
22 Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to concentrate light.
23 Earth-based telescopes can collect energy in the visible, radio, and microwave parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Space-based telescopes can collect wavelengths of energy that cannot penetrate Earth s atmosphere.
24 What determines the types of electromagnetic waves that a star emits? A. age of the star B. distance of the star from Earth C. size of the star D. temperature of the star
25 Which of these is NOT an optical telescope? A. radio telescope B. reflecting telescope C. refracting telescope D. the Hubble Space Telescope
26 Which phrase refers to any telescope that uses a curved mirror to concentrate light from a distant object? A. radio telescope B. reflecting telescope C. refracting telescope D. space telescope
27 Do you agree or disagree? 1. Astronomers put telescopes in space to be closer to the stars. 2. Telescopes can work only using visible light.
28 Early History of Space Exploration How are rockets and artificial satellites used? Why do scientists send both crewed and uncrewed missions into space? What are some ways that people use space technology to improve life on Earth?
29 Early History of Space Exploration rocket satellite space probe lunar Project Apollo space shuttle
30 Rockets A rocket is a vehicle designed to propel itself by ejecting exhaust gas from one end. Rocket engines carry oxygen with them and can operate in space where there is very little oxygen.
31 Rockets (cont.) How are rockets used in space exploration?
32 Artificial Satellites Any small object that orbits a larger object is a satellite. satellite from Latin satellitem, means attendant or bodyguard
33 Artificial Satellites (cont.) Rockets place satellites into orbit around Earth or other objects in space. Satellites send information back to Earth. CORBIS
34 Artificial Satellites (cont.) Today, Earth-orbiting satellites are used to transmit television and telephone signals and to monitor weather and climate. An array of satellites called the Global Positioning System (GPS) is used for navigation in cars, boats, airplanes, and even for hiking.
35 Artificial Satellites (cont.) How are Earth-orbiting satellites used?
36 Early Exploration of the Solar System In 1958, the U.S. Congress established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which oversees all U.S. space missions, including space telescopes. In the same year NASA was founded, Explorer 1 was launched. It orbited Earth 58,000 times before burning up in Earth s atmosphere in 1970.
37 Early Exploration of the Solar System (cont.) A space probe is an uncrewed spacecraft sent from Earth to explore objects in space. Digital Vision/Getty Images
38 Early Exploration of the Solar System (cont.) probe Science Use an uncrewed spacecraft Common Use question or examine closely
39 Early Exploration of the Solar System (cont.) Space probes are robots that work automatically or by remote control, taking pictures and gathering data. Probes are cheaper to build than crewed spacecraft, and they can make trips that would be too long or too dangerous for humans.
40 Early Exploration of the Solar System (cont.) Why do scientists send uncrewed missions to space?
41 Early Exploration of the Solar System (cont.) The first lunar probes were sent to the Moon by the United States and the former Soviet Union in The term lunar refers to anything related to the Moon.
42 Human Spaceflight In 1961, the first human an astronaut from the former Soviet Union was launched into Earth s orbit, followed shortly thereafter by the first American astronaut to orbit Earth. In 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy challenged the American people to place a person on the Moon by the end of the decade.
43 Human Spaceflight (cont.) Project Apollo was a series of space missions designed to send people to the Moon. In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11 astronauts, were the first people to walk on the Moon. NASA
44 Human Spaceflight (cont.) Space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that transport people and materials to and from space. Stocktrek/age fotostock
45 Human Spaceflight (cont.) The International Space Station is an Earth-orbiting research laboratory where astronauts from many countries work and live. Brand X Pictures/PunchStock
46 Space Technology The space program requires materials that can withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures of space. Many of these materials have been applied to everyday life on Earth, including in firefighting gear, athletic clothing, and medical applications, such as orthodontic braces.
47 Space Technology (cont.) What are some ways that space exploration has improved life on Earth?
48 Exhaust from burned fuel accelerates a rocket. Some space probes can land on the surface of a planet or a moon. Technologies developed for the space program have been applied to everyday life on Earth. Stocktrek/age fotostock
