What is used for study of space?
The scientific field that deals with the study of outer space is called astronomy. The name comes from the Greek words astron, which means ‘star,’ and…
What have astronauts discovered in space?
Astronomers spotted the brightest light in the universe, found new planets circling distant stars, and detected a collision between a black hole and a neutron star that warped the fabric of space-time. In our own solar system, scientists also discovered new moons and evidence of violent collisions from the past.
What have we discovered in space?
Since NASA’s inception in 1958, astronauts have landed on the moon, parked a robot-controlled rover on Mars, and discovered thousands of exoplanets—planets that orbit stars outside of this solar system. Scientists can even explore the 95% of invisible space comprised of dark energy, dark matter, and dark radiation.
Why do scientists perform investigations?
Scientists conduct investigations for all kinds of reasons. They may want to explore new ideas, gather evidence or prove or disprove previous results. Although scientists must follow certain methods to ensure their results are fair and accurate, there are many ways they can conduct an investigation.
How do you research space?
Research fields
- Earth observations, using remote sensing techniques to interpret optical and radar data from Earth observation satellites.
- Geodesy, using gravitational perturbations of satellite orbits.
- Atmospheric sciences, aeronomy using satellites, sounding rockets and high-altitude balloons.
What are the methods to investigate the universe?
The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble. There are many methods used to investigate the universe, the main thing that is used to observe is all the different satellites that orbit around the earth that also have telescopes attached to them. A radio telescope is a form of directional radio antenna used in radio Astronomy.
How are scientists trying to explore other planets?
Space exploration uses a variety of manned spacecraft, space probes and telescopes. The conditions in space are hostile to life and travelling in spacecraft is difficult and expensive. So scientists are using different methods to see if there is life on planets other than the Earth. Space probes can explore other planets without needing astronauts.
What is Activity 2 of the scientific method?
Activity 2: Hypothesis development and recording observations and data Students will learn specific details about the recorded experiment and begin to make an initial hypothesis based on the research question and knowledge that was gained from Activity 1.
Are there any space probes that have landed on Mars?
Some of the missions undertaken by space probes include: 1 Viking 1 and Viking 2 – landed on Mars in the 1970s, took photographs and analysed soil samples 2 Mars Global Surveyor – went into orbit around Mars in 1996/1997 and mapped the surface in 3D 3 Spirit and Opportunity – two robot vehicles that landed on Mars in 2004
