Top 10 Biggest Telescopes In World Complete List 2022 – Latest Updated – Telescopes are optical devices that make distant objects appear magnified using lenses or curved mirrors and the arrangement of lenses, or the various devices used to observe distant objects by their emission, absorption, or reflection of electromagnetic radiation. The term telescope was coined in 1611 by the Greek mathematician Giovanni Demiciani for one of Galileo Galilei’s instruments presented at a banquet in The Acedemia dei Linsei. List of banned Daily Use Items After Single Use Plastic Banned

 A telescope is an optical instrument using lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to observe distant objects, or various devices used to observe distant objects by their emission, absorption, or reflection of electromagnetic radiation.

Types of Telescopes:

It can be classified by the wavelengths of light they detect:

1. X-ray telescopes (using shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet light)
2. Ultraviolet telescopes (using shorter wavelengths than visible light)
3. Optical telescopes (using visible light)
4. Infrared telescopes (using longer wavelengths than visible light)
5. Submillimetre telescopes (using longer wavelengths than infrared light)
6. Fresnel Imager (an optical lens technology)
7. X-ray optics (optics for certain X-ray wavelengths)
