A telescope that "sees" in the infrared spectrum sees heat, which with its longer wavelength than regular visible light has an easier time passing through gas and dust and can therefore see details in areas that are blocked from view. It can also see objects that are warm, but not warm enough to emit light by glowing.
Telescopes that can see images of objects through radiation include radio telescopes and infrared telescopes. Radio telescopes detect radio waves emitted by celestial objects, allowing astronomers to study phenomena like pulsars and cosmic microwave background radiation. Infrared telescopes capture infrared radiation, which is useful for observing cooler objects in space, such as dust clouds and distant galaxies. Both types of telescopes provide valuable insights into the universe beyond visible light.
Telescopes are the main instruments. There are many different types, such as radio telescopes, besides the "usual" optical telescopes. Other instruments such as spectrometers are very useful too.
They are very useful to scientists because it helps them see stars and planets better
Optical power refers to the ability of a lens or optical system to converge or diverge light. It is typically measured in diopters (D) and indicates the strength of the lens in focusing light onto the retina. Positive optical power converges light (useful for correcting hyperopia), while negative optical power diverges light (useful for correcting myopia).
Studying universe in IR (infrared) wavelength is called infrared astronomy. Because of lot's of parameters such as redshift (for far objects like early galaxies) it is very interesting for modern astronomy and most of future studying in this field will be on these wavelengths. Next generation of space telescopes (like WEBB) will observe in IR too.

An optical system with an infinite focal length is significant because it produces parallel rays of light, which can be useful in applications such as telescopes and cameras for capturing distant objects with clarity and precision.
They're caved-outward shape allows the focused object to appear backward or upside down. They also magnify various objects, which is useful for magnifying glasses and telescopes.

Infrared is heat and during the day other objects are hot besides bodies

A positive meniscus lens has a curved shape that causes light to converge, making it useful for focusing and magnifying images. Its unique optical properties include reducing spherical aberration and increasing depth of field. Applications of a positive meniscus lens include camera lenses, microscopes, and telescopes.
Nowadays, the bulk of the work astronomers do is on computers. They spend a small portion of their time at telescopes actually taking data. Astronomically-useful telescopes rarely have eyepieces you can look through. Radio, ultraviolet, or infrared telescopes collect light that you can't even see with your eye! Telescopes that collect visible light often have electronic cameras called CCD cameras that create an image in a computer. Many telescopes are used to create a spectrum (the light is split into a rainbow, and the brightness of each color is measured). Radio telescopes record signals that astronomers can reconstruct using a computer to make an image or a spectrum.
It varies from computer to computer.. It's sometimes infrared and sometimes iron sight.
A converging lens or a convex lens is thick in the middle and thin at the edges. It causes light rays to converge at a focal point, which makes it useful for focusing light in optical systems like cameras and telescopes.
