How do optical telescopes work?

Optical telescopes work by collecting light from distant objects using a combination of lenses and mirrors. This light is then focused onto a point, producing an image that can be observed or captured. The larger the telescope’s aperture, the more light it can gather, allowing it to observe fainter objects.

What are the advantages of using optical telescopes in space?

Using optical telescopes in space eliminates the challenges posed by the Earth’s atmosphere, such as light pollution and atmospheric distortion. Space-based telescopes can observe in wavelengths that are blocked by the atmosphere, providing clearer and more detailed images of celestial objects.

Why are some optical telescopes located on mountain tops?

Mountain tops are ideal locations for optical telescopes because they are above a significant portion of the Earth’s atmosphere. This reduces the effects of atmospheric distortion and light pollution, allowing for clearer observations of the night sky.

What's the difference between refracting and reflecting optical telescopes?

Refracting telescopes use lenses to gather and focus light, while reflecting telescopes use mirrors. Reflecting telescopes tend to be more versatile and can be made larger than refracting ones, allowing them to observe fainter objects. However, refracting telescopes can provide sharper images for certain observations.
