Telescope Development

Telescope development involves creating instruments that can observe distant celestial objects, helping us understand the universe. Key components include lenses or mirrors to focus light, and advanced sensors to capture images. Over time, technology has evolved from simple optical telescopes, like those used by Galileo, to modern radio and space telescopes that can detect various wavelengths beyond visible light. Innovations in materials and digital technology have enhanced sensitivity and resolution, allowing scientists to explore phenomena such as galaxies, stars, and exoplanets, significantly advancing our knowledge of astronomy and cosmology.
