    “UNLOCKING THE

    UNIVERSE : THE MAKING


    OF TELESCOPES”

    BY RIYASHREE UCHOI
    WHAT IS A TELESCOPES
    A Telescopes is an instrument that allows us to observe
    distant objects in space , such as starts , planets , galaxies ,
    and other celestial bodies .
    It consists of a combination of lenses and mirrors that
    gather light and focus it to magnify and enhance our vision.
    Telescopes help us explore the universe , discover new
    objects ,and better understand the workings of the cosmos.
    By observing the sky with a telescopes , we can marvel at the
    beauty and gradeur of the universe and uncover fascinating
    secrets that help us expand our knowledge of space

    HOW TELESCOPES ARE
    MANUFACTURED
    Telescopes are optical instruments that focus light in
    such a way that distant object look magnified . Just one
    year after discovery of first modern telescopes , Galileo
    Galilei managed to create small telescopes that had
    30x magnification .
    OPTICAL COMPONENTS
    The main parts of which any telescopes consists with
    are the following:
    Primary lens (for refracting telescopes ), which is the main
    components odf the device. Bigger the lens , more light a
    telescopes acan gather and fainter objects can be viewed.
    Primary mirror (for reflecting telescopes), which carries
    the same role as the primary lens in a reflecting telescopes .
    Eyepiece , which magnifies the image .
    Mounting , which supports the tube , enabling it to be
    rotated.
    REFRACTING TELESCOPE
    Refractor is the simplest type of telescopes , which
    combine two lenses at the ends of the tube . The main
    component of this type of telescope is the primary lens
    – the objective . A concave lens is used as an objective
    of a refractor . It defines how objects can be viewed .
    The eyepiece , another concave lens , is placed at the
    other end of the tube .It defines the magnification of
    an object observed .

    REFLECTING TELESCOPE
    This is a later type of telescopes , firstly proposed by
    Giovanni Francesco Sagredo (1571-1620) who suggested
    that a curved mirror could be used instead of a lens .
    The first reflecting prototype was created by Isaac
    Newton in 1669 . These telescope employ parabolic
    mirror to gather light from distant space sources and
    several auxiliary mirror which direct path to the
    eyepiece .

    LENS PRODUCTION
    The glass lenses used in modern day telescopes
    are typically made through a process called
    “spherical grinding and polishing “. This process
    involves the following steps :-
     Molding
     Grinding
     Centering
     Fine grinding
     Polishing
     coating
    HOW TELESCOPES WORK
    A telescope is a tool that astronomers use to see
    faraway objects. Most tlescopes, and all large
    telescopes, work byusing curved mirrors to gather
    and focus light from the night Sky .The first
    telescopes focused light by using pieces of
    curved ,clear glass, called lenses. Because mirrors are
    lighter, and they are easier than lenses to make
    perfectly smooth . The mirrors or lenses in a
    telescope are called the “optics.” Really powerful
    telescopes can see very dim things and things that are
    really far away.

    CONCLUSION
    Telescopes are more the achievement of eyeglass
    makers then the invention of scientists . We can now
    see , how important opticians device for the
    astronomers . Telescope observations proved that the
    earth is not the center of the universe , and that the
    solar system consists of several planets and their
    satellite . The optics is constantly modified and better
    telescopes are being produced for better views .
