    Telescopes are devices used to form magnified images of distant objects. They provide a means of collecting and analyzing radiation from celestial objects. The first telescope was invented by Galileo Galilei in 1609. Major milestones in telescope evolution include the Yerkes Observatory in 1897, the Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990, and the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope scheduled for launch in 2021. There are three main types of telescopes: refractors which bend light into focus using lenses, reflectors which use mirrors to reflect light into focus, and compound telescopes which use aspects of both refractors and reflectors.

    TELESCOPE
    telescope, device used to form magnified
    images of distant objects . The telescope is
    undoubtedly the most important investigative tool in astronomy. It
    provides a means of collecting and analysing radiation from celestial
    objects, even those in the far reaches of the universe .
