The optical systems are entirely on-axis, with no diagonal reflections, and hence are insensitive to polarization. Wavelengt ...

Parallax is a term used to describe a phenomenon where, due to the different viewing positions of two observers, there is a difference in the apparent position of an object with respect to its background. The value of this apparent displacement also depends on the distance from the object to the obs ...

... Opposition occurs when a planet farther from the Sun than Earth, appears opposite the Sun in the sky. It is the best time to observe a planet. At this point the Sun, Earth and the planet are roughly in line and the planet will rise at about the same time that the Sun sets: the planet is thus visible ...
