A telescope is an instrument designed for the observation of remote objects by the collection of electromagnetic radiation. The first known practically functioning telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century. "Telescopes" can refer to a whole range of instruments operating in most regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The word "telescope" (from the Greek τῆλε, tele"far" and σκοπεῖν, skopein "to look or see"; τηλεσκόπος, teleskopos "far-seeing") was coined in 1611 by the Greek mathematician Giovanni Demisiani for one of Galileo Galilei's instruments presented at a banquet at the Accademia dei Lincei.[1][2][3] In the Starry Messenger Galileo had used the term "perspicillum".

Which telescope is designed with mirrors along the inside of it's body tube?

A Cassegrain telescope is designed with mirrors along the inside of its body tube. Light enters the tube and first reflects off a concave primary mirror at the back of the tube, then reflects off a smaller convex secondary mirror before exiting the tube. This design allows for a more compact telescope with a long focal length.


What type of data does a refracting telescope collect?

A refracting telescope collects light data, which is then focused and magnified by the curved lenses or mirrors inside the telescope. This light data allows astronomers to observe distant objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies.


On panfu how do you get to the middle of the volcano with the telescope?

To reach the middle of the volcano with the telescope on Panfu, you need to first enter the volcano by sliding down the lava stream. Once inside, you need to navigate through the cave by jumping on platforms and avoiding obstacles until you reach the telescope in the middle.


Why are telescope eyepieces an important part of any visual telescope?

Telescope eyepieces are important of any visual telescope. It is the main part of the telescope and is what determines how the object will look like through the telescope.


What is like a telescope but when you see inside you see beautiful patterns?

A kaleidoscope is similar to a telescope in shape, but instead of magnifying distant objects, it creates intricate patterns by reflecting light off colored glass or other objects inside the tube. Viewing through a kaleidoscope produces a mesmerizing and symmetrical display of shapes and colors.
