Why do scientists use telescopes?

Telescopes collect electromagnetic radiation. This radiation may be at wavelengths that the human eye can not see thereby giving us images of the universe that would otherwise be invisible to us. With visible radiation the telescope gathers more light than can pass naturally through the pupil of the human eye and therefore concentrates the light allowing us to see fainter objects or to magnify and resolve features on distant objects. A telescope can also be used as a platform on which to attach other scientific instruments (such as spectrometers) allowing scientists to analyse the information about distant objects contained in the light from those objects.
