Angle omega was measured with a transit four times with telescope direct and four times with telescope reversed starting with an initial backsight setting of 0 deg 05’. If after the first and eight measurements the readings on the horizontal scale were 89 deg 56’ and 359 deg 57’, respectively, the average measured value of Omega is 89 deg 59’ 90 deg 89 deg 58’

A star is located 4.2441 ly away. There is a planet orbiting this star with an orbital radius of 0.0485 AU (AU stands for astronomical unit - the average distance between Earth & the Sun). Fill in the table by determining the minimum diameter the objective of a telescope would need to be in order to resolve the planet from the star at the stated wavelengths. 1 ly = 9.461 × 1015 m & 1 AU = 1.496 × 1011 m. ?(nm) 200 400 600 800 1000 minimum diameter of objective(m) ? ? ? ? ?
When the sun is directly overhead, it produces an illuminance of 105,000 lux on a horizontalsurface on the earth. It has an angular diameter of 0.53 degrees as seen from the earth, andthe distance from the sun to the earth is 150*10^6km. What is the average luminance of thesun?
A new optical imaging satellite is being designed for the Maritime Domain Awareness mission. The satellite will be placed in a circular orbit at 5000 km altitude and be able to look off of nadir, giving a maximum range to the target of 7000 km. The desired resolution is 3 meters. What is the satellite's speed? Express answer in km/s to two significant digits.
One important goal of astronomers is to have a telescope inspace that can resolve planets like the earth orbiting other stars. If aplanet orbits its star at a distance of 1.5 * 10^11 m (the radius of theearth’s orbit around the sun) and the telescope has a mirror of diameter8.0 m, how far from the telescope could the star and its planet be if thewavelength used was (a) 690 nm and (b) 1400 nm? Use the Rayleighcriterion and give your answers in light-years (1 ly = 9.46 * 1015 m).

Suppose a man stands in front of a mm-or as show below. His eyes are 1.65 m above the floor and the top of his head is 0.13 m higher. Find the height above the floor of the top and bottom of the smallest minor in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. How is this distance related to the man’s height?
Imagine that a spacecraft has landed on Mercury and is transmitting radio signals to Earth at a wavelength of 10.000 cm. When Mercury is seen from Earth in the evening sky, at its greatest angular distance east of the Sun, it is moving toward Earth at its maximum possible relative speed of 47.9 km/s. To what wavelength must you tune your radio telescope to detect the signals? (Hint: Use the Doppler formula in Reasoning with Numbers 6-2.)
Can an astronaut orbiting Earth in a satellite at a distance of 180 km from the surface distinguish two skyscrapers that are 20 m apart? Assume that the pupils of the astronaut’s eyes have a diameter of 5.0 mm and that most of the light is centered around 500 nm.
