Q

Compare methods of observing the Universe using visible light, including the naked eye, photography and telescopes

A

we can see some starts and planets using the naked eye. telescopes allow us to see more distant and fainter objects. because the larger lenses gather more light. photographs provide a record of observations that can be studies later or analysed by computer. cameras can also record light arriving through a telescope over many minutes, so they can produce pictures of object too dim to see just by looking through telescope.
