How Do Telescopes Work? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids A telescope is a tool that astronomers use to see faraway objects Most telescopes, and all large telescopes, work by using 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 So why do we use mirrors today? Because mirrors are lighter, and they are easier than lenses to make perfectly smooth

GALEX_time_machine - NASA Space Place A TELESCOPE FOR (ALMOST) ALL TIME GALEX is a new NASA space telescope that can see back in time 80% of the way to the Big Bang The Big Bang is the colossal explosion that gave the universe its start around 14 billion years ago (give or take a few billion years) The Galaxy Evolution Explorer, or GALEX for short, is an Earth-orbiting telescope that is looking back 11 billion years to help
Deep Space Network Radio Telescope - NASA Space Place Deep Space Network Radio Telescope Radio telescopes are large dish antennas designed to collect long, lazy radio waves Radio waves also shine right through Earth's atmosphere, so putting these telescopes on the ground works fine Although radio waves are long, they still move fast, at the same speed as light
