Tuesday is for Telescopes

In simplest terms, a telescope is a light bucket. That means it collects some sort of electromagnetic data to share.

Today, we are going to look at some of the important telescopes that have been used in astronomy.   We'll also watch some videos.

In each, describe the wave range of the telescope, where it is located, and famous people and discoveries spawned by the telescope. After you are done, try to rank the value from 1 (low) TO 12 (highest).  Be prepared to hand in this data tomorrow.
