    Galileo invented the telescope, allowing humans to view distant objects in space for the first time. There are two main types of optical telescopes - refracting and reflecting. Refracting telescopes use lenses to focus light while reflecting telescopes use mirrors. Modern telescopes combine these designs. In addition to optical telescopes, radio telescopes were developed to detect radio waves from space, providing additional information about distant stars and objects.

    SPACE: Beyond the Solar

    System
    For thousands of years,
    it was mostly questions
    and few answers until
    Galilei Galileo invented
    his own version of
    telescope.
    TELESCOPE
    Ordinary telescope are
    called optical telescope.
    They are used for viewing
    distant objects. All optical
    telescopes have the same
    basic components and
    functions.
    Basic components of the Telescope
    Objective lens or mirror used to
    gather and concentrate light.
    Ocular lens or eyepiece used to
    view the focused image.
    All telescopes magnify small images
    of objects that are actually large.
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    Refracting Telescope
    Consists of a two-lens eyepiece
    and a large convex lens
    objective. The light coming from
    the distant object enters the
    objective lens. The light rays are
    bent towards a single point.

    Reflecting Telescope
    It uses system of mirrors rather a
    lens for its objective. The
    incoming light is reflected by a
    concave mirror at the lower end
    of the tube.

    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    Modern Telescope
    Combination of refracting and
    reflecting telescope. Refractors
    can take wide portion of the sky
    but cannot collect enough light
    for a good picture. Reflector
    have better light collection but
    can only view a small portion of
    the sky.
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    CATADIOPTRIC SYSTEM
    Such telescope are powerful
    enough to view stars , quasars,
    meteors, and celestial
    phenomena.
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    Optical telescopes form
    images from the light emitted
    or reflected by the observed
    distant object. But light is not
    the only source of information
    from the space beyond.
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    In fact, our planet is being
    showered continuously by
    atomic and sub-atomic
    particles that what we call
    radiation in the form of
    electromagnetic waves. Most
    of these radiations are deadly.
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    The earths geomagnetism is
    another protective shield against
    the deadly radiations. It is believed
    that these radiations are trapped
    within the earths magnetic field
    forming a belt of radioactive
    particles called Van Allen Belt.
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    Scientist knew that radiations
    from outer space can provide a
    better picture of stars and
    other heavenly bodies.
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    Radio Telescope
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    Radio Telescope is an
    instrument for detecting radio
    waves emitted by distant
    objects as a means of
    obtaining information about
    the space.
    KINDS OF OPTICAL TELESCOPE
    Radio Telescope consists of a
    parabolic (disk-shaped) mirror that
    reflects radio waves to a
    preamplifier, which converts the
    waves into electronic impulses
    that are then fed into an electronic
    mixer to reconvert the electronic
    signals into audible signals and
    visual images.
