Where are most large telescopes located?. Telescopes - Key Terms. Telescope. Telescopes were first invented around the year 1600. . Galileo . Galilei was an early astronomer who first used telescopes to view objects in our solar system. . He . made many important discoveries including: the moon was covered in mountains and Jupiter had 4 large moons.. Jon Holtzman. NMSU Astronomy. Telescopes are light buckets: bigger buckets collect more light, and faint (far away) objects don’t produce much light!. Why build bigger telescopes?. In principle, bigger telescopes make sharper images:. Optical Telescopes. Ground based and on satellites. Observations are recorded using a camera instead of the human eye most times. . This is so we can separate colors into light and using times to study changes over time.. The most important property of a telescope? . No, it’s not it’s “power” or magnifying ability, it is……. Its . Light Gathering . power! So, . t. he diameter of the mirror or lens is THE most important property. Types of Telescopes. A telescope collects light over a large area and focuses it in a . small area where it can be viewed with an eye or a camera. This can be done in 2 ways:. Refracting Telescopes.
