Telescope

A telescopeis a device that collects information from light or rdio waves.

Optical telescopes
An optical telescopeis a system of lenses or mirrors that collects light. Optical telescopes make the image from the light collected larger so more details can be seen or photographed. Optical telescopes can show distant seenes on Earth larger. Or when telescopes re pointed at the sky we can see Astronomical objects better and more clearly.

Radio telescopes
Radio telescopes are dishes that collect radio waves. Radio telescopes also help us learn about radio emissions outside the Earth and increase what we know about the Universe.
