Definition(s)
- A telescope is an instrument used to collect light, or other forms of electromagnetic radiation, from distant objects, magnify the image, and allow the object to be viewed. Reflecting telescopes gather light by means of a mirror, refracting telescopes by means of a lens, and catadioptric telescopes by a mirror-lens combination.
