Why do astronomers send telescopes and probes into space?

Answer 1

people want to know the unknown things in the space like coloumbus's

exploration through the sea. they want to know about the aliens, who are belived to be living in some other planets,as our human behaviour is, featuring to know about the neighbours,and to the facilities and wealth of them ,this same feature made them to explore space.

Humankind has always been fascinated by what is beyond our world, but the satisfaction of this curiosity was only feasible when our technology was sufficiently advanced breach the hold of gravity, circa 1960. The deciding factor in this realization of said curiosity was the Cold War funding pumped into space programs by the United States and the Soviet Union in what was ultimately a pissing match between the two to prove who was superior.

Answer 2

Due to the rapid advance of technology and the ability to send telescopes into space, the future is extremely bright for multiwavelength astronomy. In the coming years and decades, you will continue to hear about many new discoveries being made across the spectrum.

Answer 3

Telescopes: Many, many times more effective in space because they are not trying to see through earths atmosphere. This is a tremendous advantage. Probes: Well designed and built space probes tell us great amounts of things about our solar system and beyond at a tiny fraction of the cost a manned mission would cost - and much more safely, too. The space telescopes, and the space probes have been one of the highest "return-for-dollar" investments in the entire history of the space program - and they will be used even more extensively in the future.

Answer 4

For hundreds of Generations, Humanity has gazed at the heavens wondering what could be beyond the sky. Plus The Human is born to have a sense of curiosity. Also (IF) for some reason we need to evacuate earth from whatever catastrophic reason, we will have the know how to successfully and safely leave the earth. As for exploring other planets, those discoveries may lead to understanding the origin of the solar system.

Answer 5

Space brobes are used by scientists to study far of planets as it is not possible for man to travel and return after so many years. he will run out of oxygen.

Answer 6

Not only is it interesting, but it is also so we can, well, learn.

Answer 7

One reason is because they wanted to get a closer look at the stars.Another reason why they send telescopes into space is so they can get more information about stars
