Question

how did satellites impact scientific understanding of space during the late 20th century?
satellites allowed astronauts to successfully navigate around the moon.
satellites allowed for more accurate predictions of solar flares.
satellites provided images from surrounding solar systems that confirmed the existence of other planets with water.
satellites provided high resolution photos that helped scientists research the origins of the universe

Explanation:

Satellites in the late 20th century provided high - resolution photos. These photos were crucial for scientists to research the origins of the universe. Astronauts navigating around the moon (1960s - early 1970s) was more about spacecraft technology than satellites in the late 20th - century context. Predicting solar flares was not the main impact of satellites on scientific understanding of space in the late 20th century. Also, confirming other planets with water in surrounding solar systems was not a late 20th - century achievement via satellites.

Answer:

Satellites provided high resolution photos that helped scientists research the origins of the universe.
