👉 Telescope research involves the development, improvement, and application of optical instruments designed to observe distant celestial objects and phenomena. This field spans both traditional optical telescopes, which use lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light from the cosmos, and advanced technologies like radio telescopes, infrared observatories, and space-based telescopes. Researchers aim to enhance resolution, sensitivity, and spectral range to uncover more about the universe, from the formation of galaxies and stars to the detection of exoplanets and the study of dark matter and dark energy. Innovations in adaptive optics, interferometry, and digital imaging techniques are key areas of focus, enabling clearer and more detailed observations that push the boundaries of our understanding of space and time.
