I'm sure you've wanted to know what really goes on within telescopes, right? Well congrats! Today's your lucky day!
They are made out of curved glass called lenses! This concentrates light, which is what we see when we look into it.
FUN FACT: THE BIGGER THE TELESCOPE LENS, THE MORE LIGHT IT CAN GATHER! AKA, THE BIGGER, THE BETTER.
Telescopes collect electromagnetic#160;radiation, which helps use observe things past what#160;the human eye can see!
FUN FACT: THE THREE TYPES OF OPTICAL TELESCOPES ARE REFLECTING, REFRACTING, AND CATADIOPTRIC!
The very first telescope was invented in the 17th century, in the Netherlands. In the 1930s, radio telescopes were created and in the 1960s, the infrared telescope was created.
FUN FACT: THE ONLY PROBLEM IS; THE MORE MAGNIFICATION, THE LESS VIEWING AREA. AKA, THE OBJECT YOU ARE FOCUSING ON SHOULD BE WITHIN MID-VIEW.#160;
The telescope's light collecting ability relies#160;on it's aperture/diameter.#160;Telescopes can also have varying#160;eyepieces, which change the amount of magnification.
