21
Q

Hazards of space

A

Space travel hazards include radiation exposure, microgravity effects on the body, psychological challenges, spacecraft malfunctions, and the risk of collisions with debris.

22
Q

Benefits of space travel

A

Space travel brings technological innovation, scientific discoveries, economic growth, global collaboration, and inspires human potential.

23
Q

different techniques
astronomers use to search for possible
habitable planets.

A

Astronomers use methods like transit, radial velocity, direct imaging, and astrometry to search for habitable planets by detecting star and planetary characteristics.

24
Q

Describe how astronomers use
telescopes

A

Telescopes enable astronomers to observe and study distant celestial objects by collecting and magnifying light.

25
Q

What are 2 telescopes

A

Two types of telescopes are refracting telescopes, which use lenses to bend and focus light, and reflecting telescopes, employing mirrors to gather and direct light for observation.

26
Q

Describe how a Convex lens works

A

A convex lens bends light inwards, focusing it to a point, which magnifies and sharpens images.

27
Q

Describe how astronomers search
for life on other planets. Include
SETI and Carl Sagan!

A

Astronomers, inspired by Carl Sagan, search for alien life using methods like SETI, scanning for signals, and exploring planets, such as Mars, for signs of microbial existence.
