Telescopes Explained

Telescopes collect light — from optical to infrared to radio — revealing the Universe.


Types of Telescopes

  • Optical Telescopes — visible light (Hubble).
  • Infrared Telescopes — dust-penetrating deep views (JWST).
  • Radio Telescopes — huge dishes detecting faint signals.

How Telescopes Work

They gather light and magnify distant objects, allowing us to see galaxies billions of years away.
