¿Por Qué el Cielo Nocturno Es Oscuro?

The video explains the importance of placing telescopes in space to avoid atmospheric interference, which blocks and distorts light from celestial bodies. Space telescopes offer continuous observation and clearer images, especially in infrared. However, they are costly and challenging to maintain. The video credits the James Webb Space Telescope project for its contributions.

What is one of the main reasons for placing telescopes in space?

• To reduce the cost of observations

• To make telescopes more accessible to the public

• To increase the size of the telescope

• To avoid atmospheric interference

Which of the following is NOT a problem caused by Earth's atmosphere for ground-based telescopes?

• Distortion of starlight

• Increased visibility of distant stars

• Haze

• Cloud cover

What is a significant advantage of space telescopes over ground-based ones?

• They are easier to repair

• They are closer to the stars

• They can observe 24 hours a day

• They are less expensive to build

What is a major challenge associated with space telescopes?

• They are difficult and expensive to send and repair

• They cannot capture infrared images

• They are too small

• They are affected by Earth's atmosphere

Who supported the creation of the video discussed in the transcript?

• The European Space Agency

• The James Webb Space Telescope project

• The Hubble Space Telescope project

• NASA
