Question

question 1-3
satellites are used mainly to gather light from astronomical objects. as they travel, the telescopes mirror captures light and directs it into its various science instruments. how is this technology advancing our understanding of the universe?
it is capable of sending clear images of distant objects in order for scientists to study them
it is capable of sending audio communication to other planets in our solar system for them to respond
it is capable of counting individual atoms in a substance in order for scientists to study subatomic particles
it is capable of collecting samples from other planetary systems in the universe in order for scientists to study them

Explanation:

Satellites used for astronomy gather light from distant objects and send clear images back to Earth for study. This helps scientists understand the universe better. The other options are not the main ways satellites advance our understanding in this context. Audio - communication to other planets for response is not the main function here. Counting individual atoms and collecting samples from other planetary systems are not typical functions of astronomy - focused satellites.

Answer:

It is capable of sending clear images of distant objects in order for scientists to study them.
