Question

how did satellites impact scientific understanding of space during the late 20th century?
satellites allowed astronauts to successfully navigate around the moon.
satellites allowed for more accurate predictions of solar flares.
satellites provided images from surrounding solar systems that confirmed the existence of other planets with water.
satellites provided high - resolution photos that helped scientists research the origins of the universe.

Explanation:

Satellites in the late 20th - century were used for space - related research. High - resolution photos from satellites were crucial for studying the origins of the universe. Astronaut navigation around the moon was more related to guidance systems on spacecraft rather than just satellites. Predicting solar flares is possible but not the most prominent impact on understanding the origins of the universe. As of the late 20th century, confirming water on other planets in surrounding solar systems was not achieved via satellite images, and it's still a challenging task.

Answer:

Satellites provided high resolution photos that helped scientists research the origins of the universe.
