telescope observations

Telescope observations involve using specialized instruments to collect light from distant objects like stars, planets, and galaxies. These instruments, which can be optical, radio, or other types, gather and focus light to magnify and reveal details that are impossible to see with the naked eye. By analyzing this light—its brightness, color, and spectrum—scientists learn about an object’s composition, temperature, motion, and distance. Telescopes allow us to study the universe across vast stretches of space and time, helping us understand the origins and nature of cosmic phenomena.
