TELESCOPES
SPACE TECHNOLOGIES BY SARAH TRAN
Telescope is an optical instrument that makes far away objects look closer by using a
special arrangement of lenses and mirrors. An optical instrument you use to look at the stars
that makes the stars appear closer is an example of a telescope.
WHO DID INVENTED THE 1St
TELESCOPE and WHEN ?
-The earliest known telescope appeared in
1608 in the Netherlands when an eyeglass
maker named Hans Lippershey tried to
obtain a patent on one. Although Lippershey
did not receive his patent, news of the
invention soon spread across Europe. The
design of these early refracting telescopes
consisted of a convex objective lens and a
concave eyepiece. Galileo improved on this
design the following year and applied it to
astronomy.
HOW DID THE TELESCOPES USED IN
THE PAST & TODAY ?
- The science of astronomy took a
huge leap forward in the first decade of
the 1600s with the invention of the optical
telescope and its use to study the night
sky. Galileo Galilei did not invent the
telescope but was the first to use it
systematically to observe celestial
objects and record his discoveries.
- Modern telescopes like NASA's
Hubble Space Telescope, provide
evidence of billions of galaxies, each
containing billions of stars like our sun.
Some new telescopes allow us to study
objects in the universe by detecting the
heat or radio waves or X-rays they emit
HOW DO THE TELESCOPES HELP
US NOWADAYS ?
- Modern telescopes like NASA's
Hubble Space Telescope, provide evidence
of billions of galaxies, each containing
billions of stars like our sun. Some new
telescopes allow us to study objects in the
universe by detecting the heat or radio
waves or X-rays they emit. It provides a
means of collecting and analyzing
radiation from celestial objects, even those
in the far reaches of the universe.
- Home telescope are used to check out
looking at comets or some such
astronomical event that may take place in
the sky.
