Telescope
Special curved lenses are used to make objects larger. It is a sense of scale and perception that makes distant objects magnified.
The small telescope (and sometimes it hardly has any magnification at all) is a "spotting scope" to assist in orienting the larger telescope.
ALL larger galaxies have a black hole in their center.
Their direct ancestors are glyptodonts*, very much larger armadillos. Their more distant ancestors are thought to be general small mammals resembling shrews. Even further back their ancestry traces back through mammal-like reptiles and true reptiles, as do all mammals. *See image above of a glyptodont.
A telescope is an optical system used to make objects, especially distant objects, appear larger/closer.

Most galaxies - the larger ones at least - have a supermassive black holes in their center.
