Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens?
No, with mirrors; but there are lenses in the ocular that do gather the light from the mirror and make an image you can see with your eyes.
What problem would there be in trying to make a telescope with very large lenses?
there is none, if you see those super large telescopes, they all have huge lenses
Did Galileo design refracting telescopes?
Many historians explain that Galileo was the first person to use a telescope. In 1610 Galileo discovered Saturn's rings. He also observed Jupiter's four moons and viewed the different phases of Venus. This lead to the study of sunspots and various celestial activities. Even though Galileo is credited with being the first to make practical improvements and enhancements to the use of the telescope, he was not the inventor, and therefore not the first person to use a telescope. That person would be Hans Lippershey. Hans Lippershey was born 1570 in Germany, but was raised in Holland. He invented the first refracting telescope in 1608. A lens maker, he designed this telescope from two lenses and applied for a patent, intending that it would be important for the military. He successfully demonstrated the usefulness of his refracting telescope to the military.
What are some similarities and differences between refracting and reflecting telescopes?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]
How does a reflecting telescope similar to a microscope?
Both are designed to allow you to see more clearly something that you cannot see directly. Both use a combination of mirrors and glass lenses to produce an image. We typically use a periscope to look around corners, while a telescope is primarily used to magnify the image.

How do you make a simple telescope?
You can assemble a simple telescope by using two lenses, one weak convex lens (this is thicker at the centre) as the objective and a stronger concave lens ( thinner at the centre) as the eyepiece. then, with simple manipulation you can determine the focal length of your lenses, double this calculation for length of tubing required to mount lenses and assemble a gallilean style telescope. ******* An online visual guide can help you understand what is involved in building a telescope.

When telescope was invented?
The first telescope was invented in 1608 by hans lippershey a glasses make in middleburg. after putting two lenses together he discovered that items were closer than before. Thus creating the telescope.

What are lenses that make objects look larger?
You need a convex lens to magnify an image.
Is it possible to make the telescope from A walk to Remember.if yes then how?
It is possible to make your own Dobsonian telescope. It can be quite costly to do so due to the Pyrex lenses. It is an alt-azimuth Newtonian style scope that collects light.
What are the names of the two converging lenses that are used to make a simple telescope?
1. The Objective Lens. 2. The Eyepiece Lens.

How did people react obout the telescope?
First the dutch made a telescope with only two lenses in it. After Galileo heard about this, he decided he wanted to try and make one more better and advanced. And his mission was a sucess! After that, there was orders pouring in like crazy for the telescope.
Who invented the first astronomical telescope?
There were reports that the Bolognese Cesare Caravaggi had constructed one around 1626 and the Italian professor Niccolò Zucchi, in a later work, wrote that he had experimented with a concave bronze mirror in 1616, but said it did not produce a satisfactory image
