That explains why astronomers are so incredibly enthousiastic about telescopes, and spend immense amounts of time trying to create better ones to overcome the limits of what they can do now.
- Koshkin 8y agoSure, everyone is enthusiastic about their tools. Still, it is not telescopes that are the subject of the science of astronomy.
- AllegedAlec 8y agoIt's not the subject, no, but the limitations on telescopes are what places limits on how much astronomy can do, and by improving their telescopes, and by improving how they use their telescopes, they can find out more than what they could before.
- renox 8y agoNote that the detection of gravitational waves necessitated the modelisation of these waves first. So astronomy is needed as an input and also progress as an output of the telescope..
