Although optical telescopes are the type most commonly used for stargazing and amateur astronomy, lots of astronomical research is done on telescopes that look at other wavelengths of light. Each of these wavelength ranges shows us something unique about the universe and allows us to view events and objects that can't be seen with human eyes.
The telescope is an instrument that, in principle, enables the observer to see the stars and planets with a much larger eye. Telescopes use either a lens or a mirror. The lens of the Hubble is 371 times wider than that of the human eye at max dilation. The larger a telescopeâs lens or mirror, the greater its ability. to collect light, and hence the greater the distance it can see.
