Telescopes

Telescopes are instruments that allow us to observe distant objects in space, such as stars, planets, and galaxies. They work by collecting and focusing light, making faraway objects appear larger and clearer. There are two main types: optical telescopes, which use lenses or mirrors to gather visible light, and radio telescopes, which detect radio waves emitted by celestial bodies. By studying these objects, telescopes help us learn more about the universe’s structure, origins, and evolution, significantly advancing our understanding of astronomy and our place in the cosmos.
