Refracting and Reflecting telescopes
Objective Lens makes an imageby bending light from a distant object so the light converges on a focusGalileoChromatic aberration-different wavelengths of light bend differently and appear fuzzy
Uses a concave mirror that focuses the light in front of the mirror

Refracting and Reflecting telescopes
Here is a short video to explain the difference

Properties of Optical telescopes
1. Light gathering power (more light)
2. resolving power (sharpness)
3. magnifying power (increased size)

Radio Telescopes
A radio telescope focuses the incoming radio waves on an antenna, which transmits the waves to an amplifier. The radio telescope is used primarily for astronomy, looking at objects that don't emit or reflect enough light to be seen by the usual optical methods.

Space Telescopes
Orbit above the earth’s atmosphere and produce clearer images
Hubble was the first built by NASA
Others are the Chandra X-ray and Compton Gamma ray

Photosphere
• Grainy appearance to sun when look in a telescope caused by granules, areas of hotter gases rising—last 10 minutes and new ones arise causing a convection
• 90% of sun’s surface are hydrogen
• 10% helium

ChromosphereAbove the photosphere is a thin layer of hot
gases. It is viewed during an eclipse as a thin red rim

Corona
Outermost portion of the atmosphere
Visible only when photosphere is covered
Solar wind—ionized gases that escape the gravitational pull of the sun and bombard parts of solar system, it can effect our atmosphere.

The Solar Interior
Nuclear Fusion
-Converts four Hydrogen nuclei into one helium releasing energy
energy is released because some matter is converted to energy
Causes the core to grow in size
Sun can exist in its present state another 10 billion years

The Active Sun
1. Sunspots appear dark because they are cooler areasthey have a regular 11 year cycle
2. ProminencesHuge cloudlike structures of chromatic gasestrapped by magnetic fields
3. Solar flaressudden brightening above a sunset cluster
Auroras-display of color near poles caused by solar flares
