When people look through a telescope, air currents in the earth’s atmosphere can distort the images they see. in the 1950s, a scientist named h. w. babcock thought of a way to reduce this distortion by using a special device within the telescope. however, this device was not used until the 1990s.

Babcock's ideas did not come into common usage until advances in computer technology during the 1990's made his technique practical.

Explanation:

Scientific ideas often have to wait until advancements in technology make the ideas possible.

measuring physical properties lab reportinstructions: in the physical properties lab, you will test the physical properties of different building materials in order to pick the appropriate materials for a new home in tiny world. record your observations and test measurements in the lab report below. youwill submit your completed report.name and title: lyric lawton, mr.herbert, 10/13/17, physical properties lab. objective(s): i need to parvus build his house out of the right material, so he will stay cool in the mountains.hypothesis: if we use wood to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use clay brick to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use aluminium to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate.if we use iron to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure.
