Conclusion ![]() Did you enjoy drawing the objects? You have now learned a little about what astronomy was like in my time. If you have a parent that owns a telescope, you can try doing astronomy just like I did. Look through the telescope's eyepiece, and draw what you see. Try it!
Today, astronomers rarely look through telescopes with their eyes. They almost always use a camera to record the data they want. The SDSS telescope pictures you saw were taken with a large digital camera. The camera is shown to the right.
Send us your best drawings and we will post them in our gallery! |
