Reflective telescope

A reflective telescope is a type of telescope that uses mirrors instead of lenses to gather and focus light from distant objects, like stars and galaxies. The primary mirror, usually curved, reflects light to a focal point, where an eyepiece magnifies the image. This design allows for larger aperture sizes without the distortion caused by lenses, making it effective for observing faint celestial bodies. Reflective telescopes can achieve clearer, brighter images and are commonly used in both amateur and professional astronomy. The famous Hubble Space Telescope is a well-known example of a reflective telescope.
