👉 A telescope is a device that magnifies objects by focusing light onto a screen or photographic plate. It works by using mirrors to focus light and then through lenses, which are designed to gather light from the object being observed. The primary function of a telescope is to provide an image of an astronomical object such as a planet, star, comet, or galaxy. The images produced by telescopes can be used for various purposes, including astronomy, astrophysics, geology, and military applications. There
