How are refracting and reflecting telescopes similar?
Space & NavigationRefractors telescopes utilize specially designed lenses to focus the light on an image. A Reflector telescope uses mirrors, which causes light to reflect at different angles within the optical tube and extends the overall light path. Reflecting telescopes have many advantages as compared to refracting telescopes. In what way are the refracting telescope and reflecting

Why are Mars moons not round?
Space & NavigationThe moons are aspherical because gravity is too weak to overcome the rock stresses. Smaller moons are generally less spherical. The nearer moon, Phobos has less dust because it is nearer from Mars and is less able to gravitationally hold onto its residual dust from its cratering than Deimos. Why are the moons of Mars

What does the no hair theorem describe?
Space & NavigationThe no-hair theorem states that all black hole solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell equations of gravitation and electromagnetism in general relativity can be completely characterized by only three externally observable classical parameters: mass, electric charge, and angular momentum. What is the meaning of the statement that black holes have no hair? The no-hair theorem is the
