A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses or mirrors to collect and focus light from distant objects, essential for astronomical observations. They can be categorized into different types, including refracting and reflecting telescopes, depending on their light-gathering method. Telescopes have significantly enhanced our understanding of the universe since their invention in the 17th century.
