If the telescope were placed in space (like hubble) the images would be greatly improved due to the lack of both atmosphere and ambient light, such as streetlights. The lack of atmosphere means that the light from distant objects need not travel through turbulent gases found in the atmosphere. this would eliminate the 'twinkling' of stars, and the lack of ambient light would result in much greater detail in the image.
No. A radio telescope is always a reflecting telescope; the wire mesh in the dish is opaque and reflective at radio frequencies. The parabolic dish reflects all of the radio waves back to the feed...
A refracting or refractor telescope is a dioptric telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. The refracting telescope design was originally used in spy glasses and astronomical...
Not exactly. A light telescope is a telescope that catches and shows visible light. The main light-gathering piece may either be a lens, in which case you would have a refracting telescope. Or - much...
