please help!
By studying electromagnetic emissions, astronomers hope to come to a better understanding of the Universe. There are many puzzles in the universe that can only be solved by comparing images of wavelengths telescopes are only designed to detect a particular portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. There for it is necessary for Astronomers therefore often use [...]
Telescopes are of two main types – reflectors and refractors. The fundamental difference between both types is the kind of glasses used for light collection. Refractors use lenses while reflectors use mirrors. Going back to school physics, it is obvious that light from distant bodies, like celestial objects, comes at us as a parallel beam. [...]

Ever since man could wonder, he turned his face to wonder towards the stars. This is something that everyone knows, and something that everyone has probably seen at one time or another. With the invention of telescopes, man was able to actually get a big closer of a look at the things that have held [...]
Refractor telescopes are some of the oldest telescopes available, utilized at around the beginning of the 15th century and still around today the refractor telescope is quite possibly one of the oldest telescopes in use today. Made up of concave lenses that allow the light to be refracted and images to appear bright and larger [...]

Sky & Telescope’s Pocket Sky Atlas
Astronomers are stunned to discover that the Hubble telescope is reporting black holes in every recorded area of the universe. Interesting video from BBC science show ‘Supermassive Black Holes’.
What’s a telescope? Generally speaking, a telescope is a device that magnifies the degree of visibility of far away objects, making these objects more amenable to observation. The telescope was first used by the early astronomers to observe the sky, and to discover new celestial bodies. Telescopes were instrumental in the advancement of science and [...]
Q& A : I am thinking about buying a telescope but I do not know the difference between these.
I want to use my telescope for just, looking at saturn, mars and other planets, maybe close stars to see what I can see and the space station and satellites!
