How about a few? Absorption of light through the lens(es). Chromatic aberation, requiring, preferably, a multiple lens like an achromatic or apochromatic lens which increases absorption. Reflection of light off of the objective lens. Maximum exposure to the elements, causing fogging. Maximum diameter of about 40 inches due to gravity. Difficulty of making at least four optical surfaces to reduce chromatiic aberation (and, these must stay aligned for the life of the telescope). Enough?
The three major functions are brighten, resolve, and magnify.
The telescope
a major difference the huble space telescope is in orbit while the regular is in use only on the ground
The telescope has a large diameter concave main mirror with a hole at it's centre.This is known as a Cassegrain configuration. Light from the stars enters the telescope tube and is reflected from the main mirror back up the tube and is then reflected by a small secondary mirror back down through the hole in the main mirror to a focus point behind it. An array of cameras and spectroscopes share the light by means of a beam splitter at the main focus. The cameras digitally process the images they recieive using charge couple devices known as CCD's or electronic eyes. The digital signals are labelled and sent to a microwave dish which transmit the images back to Earth. The telescope is powered by solar cells and has a lens cap that automatically closes whenever the sun is a danger to the sensitive cameras.The telescope is remotely pointed and stabilised using gyroscopes and it is these moving parts that are prone to failure. Despite early problems the Hubble telescope a shuttle space mission was sent to repair the telescope and fit an optical fix known a 'Costar'. The mirror had been ground with an error in the measurement system and ever since has been a fantastic success. It was given major overhaul earlier this year in one of the last shuttle missions and is to be replaced by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)in the next decade.
Newton made many Major advancements,like Law of Universal Gravity, Law of Light composition, Reflective Telescope and Calculus. Newton also pioneered chemistry, under the name of Alchemy.
A telescope must gather large amounts of light from a dim, distant object; therefore, it needs a largeobjective lens to gather as much light as possible and bring it to a bright focus. Because the objective lens is large, it brings the image of the object to a focus at some distance away
A major disadvantage? Size. It's expensive to launch a telescope into space, the heavier the object, the more expensive. You have to balance the size (thus weight) of a telescope against the cost, and the capability of the rocket. In astronomy the major factor in a telescopes effectiveness is size. The bigger the telescope, the dimmer the object that can be observed, which often means the more distant objects, and the higher resolution images they obtain. Space telescopes give this all up to be above the atmosphere because the air restricts the resolution of images, as it distorts the light that passes through it. So in exchange for better resolution (not limited by the atmosphere) they give up size. On top of this you have maintenance issues, as it's normally impossible to fix you have to have simpler, more robust (and expensive) instruments which can limit what you can do.

what are the major advantage and disadvantage of concentric diversification?
a major disadvantage was that they sucked at fighting
The telescope
One major problem with the refractor telescope used by Galileo was sagging lens.
Galileo was the first to use a telescope for major discoveries, around the year 1610.
Major disadvantage of asynchronous transmission is that the transmission lines is idle during the time intervals between transmitting characters.
a major difference the huble space telescope is in orbit while the regular is in use only on the ground
The major disadvantage is the dependence on advertising revenues to function and make profit.
