The problem was known as chromatic aberration. No matter how big the telescope got or how well the lens was made, these bands of color always appeared and distorted the images. Second, bands of color, like a rainbow, appeared at the edges of an image made by a telescope. First, imperfections in the lens could make images appear fuzzy, like looking at an object at the bottom of a pool. These telescopes, known as refractors, were made with larger and better lenses over time, but there were two problems that just wouldn’t go away. All telescopes gather light from a large area and bring. All of these things were complete surprises. Optical telescopes have undergone several changes since their invention in the late sixteenth century. Galileo also described four moons he discovered orbiting around Jupiter and reported the fact that Venus showed phases, an observation that revolutionized and finally ended the discussion about an Earth-centered Universe. He looked at the Milky Way and saw that the milky appearance was actually due to myriad separate stars that could not be resolved by the human eye. The book included descriptions of mountains and craters Galileo saw on the Moon. Rare Books Collection, apf6-01298, Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library Heavy investment in state-of-the-art technology and the acquisition of some of the best optical technicians in the business ensure that optics and telescopes. He would not have been able to reach this conclusion without the aid of a telescope.Ĭredit: Galilei, Galileo.
He thereby realized that the entire surface of the Moon was pitted with craters and mountains. These depictions emphasize his realization that walls of deep craters on the Moon cast shadows. The treatise included observations Galileo made with his telescope. Telescope is an optical device used to form the image of very far objects near the eye so that it appears bigger. With each successive generation of telescopes, more about the wonders and complexities of the Universe are revealed than could ever have been imagined. Galileo's first refracting telescope (1609), which has an aperture of 1.5 cm, and is currently housed at the Museo Galileo in Florence, Italy.
