How Telescopes Work
Question: How do telescopes work?
d c whitbeck
Answer: You need to go to any number of books on telescopes and look at
the diagrams and figure this out. Lenses or mirrors focus the
light from stars on a single point. This is the same principle
as makes glasses and cameras work essentially.
