The word telescope is from the Greek words meaning "distant" and "viewing" (looking).
The telescope is :
1.) An arrangement of lenses or mirrors or both that focuses visible light, permitting better observation of distant objects.
2.) Any of various devices, such as a radio telescope, similarly used to detect and observe distant objects by their emission, transmission, reflection, or other interaction with invisible radiation.
