Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The proposal is bad and has many mistakes in itself.

Explanation:

-Telescopes are preferably to be placed far from cities, ideally a remote place on a mountain or raised land. It should not be erected at sea level.

-It should not be erected at sea level. High humidity present at sea level clouds observations made as infrared observations are not possible at sea level.

-Dome should not be heated at all. Strong air currents are generated during heating which inturn ruins observations. Also, a heated dome will emit infrared radiation which ultimately swamps astronomical signals.
