Focus: Telescopes
• It is important for you to know that telescopes are tools that aid in the study of objects in outer space.

Answer the following questions with True or False
The Earth’s atmosphere, air pollution, and light pollution does not interfere with telescopes on the ground._____________

Today’s research telescopes rely on charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to record the light collected by the telescope. _______________
