Newtonian Telescope

A Newtonian telescope is a type of reflecting telescope invented by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century. It uses a curved mirror to gather and focus light from distant objects, such as stars and planets. This mirror reflects the light to a smaller flat mirror, which directs it to an eyepiece, allowing the viewer to see a magnified image. Newtonian telescopes are known for their simplicity, ease of use, and ability to observe celestial objects clearly, making them popular among amateur astronomers. They were pivotal in advancing our understanding of the universe.
