• A telescope is an amazing device that has the
  ability to make faraway objects appear much
  closer. Telescopes come in all shapes and
  sizes, from a little plastic tube to the Hubble
  Space Telescope, which weighs several tons.
  Amateur telescopes fit somewhere in
  between, and even though they are not nearly
  as powerful as the Hubble, they can do some
  incredible things.
This telescope uses a large objective lens to

reflectors with a similar price tag.
Generally regarded as good for observation of
the moon and planets.
This telescope uses a large curved primary mirror to
collect the light and then reflect it to a point of focus
where a
secondary mirror deflects it up into the eyepiece.
The eyepiece then magnifies the image. This
telescope, available
in two basic models (Newtonian or Dobsonian) is
generally regarded as a decent all-rounder with a
better deep
space performance than its refracting cousins.
The diameter of this object (lens or mirror), usually
given in mm, is equal to the aperture size. Again,
the larger the aperture, the more light collected, the
better the quality of image.

 Materials
                                       1. The mailing tubes will be the body of the telescope with
                                       the smaller one sliding inside the larger one. The length of
*2 converging lenses (convex lenses)   the assembled telescope will be a little longer than the sum
                                       of the focal lengths of the two lenses. Add the value of the
*telescoping tubes (mailing tubes)     focal lengths of the short and long lens together. Divide that
                                       length by two and then add another inch. Cut both of the
                                       tubes to that length with a knife or saw.
*manila file folder
                                       2. Use the scissors to cut out two circles from the paper that
                                       are the same size as the diameter of the mailing tube. These
*scissors                              circle frames will mount and center the lenses on the tube.
                                       Cut out circles that are slightly smaller than the diameter of
                                       the lenses in the center of the paper frame circle. Glue the
*knife or saw                          lenses to the center of the frame. The shorter focal length
                                       lens will be the eyepiece. Glue that framed lens to the end of
*glue                                  the smaller tube. Glue the other framed lens to the end of
                                       the larger tube.
*1 white poster board                  3. Slide the two cardboard tubes together. You have now
                                       assembled a simple refracting telescope. Look through the
                                       eyepiece of your telescope and focus it on a distant object.
*red and black tape                    Slide the two cardboard tubes in and out until you have a
                                       clear image. What do you observe?
                                       4. Use the red and black tape to make stripes on the white
                                       poster board.
In 1609 an Italian physicist and astronomer named Galileo
became the first person to point a telescope skyward. Although
that telescope was small and the images fuzzy, Galileo was able to
make out mountains and craters on the moon, as well as a ribbon
of diffuse light arching across the sky which would later be
identified as our Milky Way galaxy. After Galileo's and, later, Sir
Isaac Newton's time, astronomy flourished as a result of larger
and more complex telescopes. With advancing technology,
astronomers discovered many faint stars and the calculation of
stellar distances. In the 19th century, using a new instrument
called a spectroscope, astronomers gathered information about
the chemical composition and motions of celestial objects.

Twentieth century astronomers developed bigger and bigger
telescopes and, later, specialized instruments that could peer into
the distant reaches of space and time. Eventually, enlarging
telescopes no longer improved our view… all because of the
Earth's atmosphere.
