What is a Telescope? How does it work?

A telescope is an optical instrument used to observe distant objects in the sky.

Telescopes collect light from distant objects and focus it to form an image.

The type of telescope and its design determine what objects it can observe.

Refracting telescopes use lenses to bend light to focus it, while reflecting telescopes use mirrors to do the same.

Telescopes can be used to observe distant galaxies, stars, planets, and other astronomical objects in the night sky.

Some telescopes are even powerful enough to observe distant galaxies billions of light-years away.

Common examples of telescopes include the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.
