Telescope - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A telescope is an instrument that allows people to see distant objects. Telescopes are important tools in astronomy, or the study of planets, stars, and other objects in outer space. There are several different types of telescopes. Some, called light telescopes, gather light from objects. Other telescopes gather different kinds of information.

Essay Topic: A night with a Telescope The night sky has fascinated human minds since time immemorial. Early people noticed that the Moon changed shape from night to night; constellations of stars look like animals and people. The oldest records of astronomical observations are found on the walls of caves dating back to 30,000 years.
Nagel notes “ The telescope is an instrument that gathers light or some other form of electromagnetic radiation (from radio waves to gamma rays emitted by distant sources)” (1869-1875).Then someone (It has not been figured out specifically) thought what if we could make things farther away appear closer.
Telescopes in Astronomy What people currently know about the universe, along with all of its contents, is due in large part to the invention of telescopes. This paper discusses the science of sunlight and stars by explaining how the telescope has changed people’s view of the universe, as well as their place in it.
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is the first big optical space observatory telescope. Being above the atmosphere means it can see the sky more clearly than a telescope on the ground. The atmosphere blurs starlight before it reaches Earth.Named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble, the Hubble Space Telescope can observe 24 hours a day.The main mirror is 94.5 inches (2.4 meters) across.
The telescope will bring an unprecedented view of the cosmos and take pictures of parts of the universe no one has ever seen. We'll be able to glimpse the very first stars and galaxies that formed.
