How Telescopes Work

Description

Know that telescopes are instruments that help us see distant objects in space, and that space telescopes like Hubble and James Webb orbit above Earth’s atmosphere to get clearer views of the universe

Mastery Evidence

• ✓ Explain that a telescope magnifies distant objects so we can see them in more detail
• ✓ State that Earth's atmosphere blurs the view, so space telescopes get clearer pictures
• ✓ Name at least one space telescope (Hubble or James Webb) and describe what it does
