telescope

A telescope is an optical instrument designed to collect and magnify light from distant objects, allowing us to observe celestial bodies like stars, planets, and galaxies in greater detail. It works by gathering light through lenses or mirrors and focusing it to create a clearer, larger image. Telescopes can be used visually or attached to cameras for astrophotography. They come in various sizes and types, from small amateur models to large observatory instruments, enabling scientists and enthusiasts to explore the universe beyond our immediate view and gain insights into its vastness and complexity.
