Telescopes in Space! | How We Study Space | SciShow Kids

The video introduces the James Webb Space Telescope, highlighting its advanced capabilities to observe distant galaxies. It explains how telescopes work, their evolution, and the challenges of observing space from Earth due to atmospheric interference. Solutions like high-altitude observatories and space telescopes are discussed, emphasizing the advantages of space telescopes for clearer images. The video also answers a viewer's question about how chameleons change color using iridophores.

What makes the James Webb Space Telescope unique compared to Sam's telescope?

• It uses the same lenses as traditional telescopes.

• It is smaller and more portable.

• It can see further due to a new design.

• It has special space power.

What is the primary function of a telescope?

• To make objects appear smaller.

• To change the color of objects.

• To create light.

• To magnify distant objects.

Why can it be difficult to see through a telescope on Earth?

• Because telescopes are too small.

• Due to the air making light jiggle.

• Due to the lack of light.

• Because of the Earth's rotation.

What is one solution to reduce air interference in telescopic observations?

• Using telescopes underwater.

• Observing during the day.

• Placing telescopes on mountains.

• Using smaller telescopes.

How do space telescopes like the James Webb differ from Earth-based telescopes?

• They operate without air interference.

• They are less expensive to build.

• They are smaller and use fewer lenses.

• They are only used during the day.

What allows the James Webb Space Telescope to capture clear images?

• Its use of traditional lenses.

• Its small size and portability.

• Its ability to change colors.

• Its location in space with no air interference.

How do chameleons change their skin color?

• By changing the shape of their iridophores.

• By using special pigments in their skin.

• By reflecting sunlight differently.

• By shedding their skin.
