Is there life on Mars? Or in any other planet in our solar system in general? If we were to use an astronomy telescope as the sole tool of determining the answer to this question, well, we can get a varying degree and significance of results, depending on the type of astronomy telescope that we might use for this endeavor.
Of course, if we are going to utilize the refracting telescope, then we all know the limited capabilities of this type of telescope. Training the scope’s tube to the skies, particularly on the moon, we might get a clear view and even details of the moon’s mountains and seas and craters in all their splendor. But find life on the moon using the refracting telescope? I doubt it.
What about the Hubble Space telescope? The most powerful astronomical instrument there is that’s invented in this planet can be an instrument to reckon with. But the Hubble Space telescope is more of a giant outer space photographic instrument that is commissioned to take pictures of the earth from space. Such a cool gadget that’s worth billions don’t you think?
Whether we use a refracting or a Hubble Space telescope, finding other life forms can be a daunting task that needs more than just these wonderful instruments but the collective effort of all astronomers and scientists as well as the appropriate research and astronomical agencies in the United State and all around the world. And we hope that one day we can finally discover the other life forms that have been around out there practically forever.
