Understanding How Astronomers Use Telescopes to Explore the Universe

Astronomers utilize telescopes to collect and magnify light from celestial objects. There are two primary types of telescopes: refracting telescopes, which use lenses to focus light, and reflecting telescopes, which use mirrors for the same purpose. Additionally, astronomers employ prisms to separate light into various colors, enhancing their understanding of astronomical phenomena. Digital cameras are also crucial for capturing images of these distant objects, allowing for further study and analysis of the universe's wonders.

  1. A Note For You ... Astronomers use telescopes to: • Collect light from objects in the sky • Magnify objects (make them look bigger) There are two kinds of telescopes: • Refracting telescopes: use lenses to focus light • Reflecting telescopes: use mirrors to focus light Astronomers use prisms (and other things) to separate light into different colours Astronomers use digital cameras to take pictures of objects
