These can include both terrestrial and satellite-borne telescopes. Telescope, device used to form magnified images of distant objects. The telescope is undoubtedly the most important investigative tool in astronomy. Earth-Based Observations. Airborne and Orbital Telescopes. Probes and Fly-by Spacecraft.
Laser technologies similar to lidar, developed at Goddard, have been used on orbiters to measure the topography of planets including Earth. Photograph the Moon. Take a virtual field trip. Touch the topography. Make Moon art. Relax on your couch. Listen to the Moon. See the Moon through the eyes of a spacecraft. The Moon's weak atmosphere and its lack of liquid water cannot support life as we know it.
The moon can always be readily observed. It always looks spectacular whether you're using binoculars or a telescope. Mainstream astronomy is increasingly adopting specialized instruments, such as underground neutrino detectors and gravity wave detectors. Telescopes and radio dishes can also be used in pairs to introduce interferometers, which enhance resolution capacities to provide clearer pictures.
Early civilizations did not use astronomy equipment to study stars, although they did observe and try to make sense of them.
