Reflecting and Refracting Telescopes Yea, uh, also by me, same person as before, Greg Leon

Refracting Telescopes GGGGalileo Galilei made it in the early 1600’s RRRRefracts/Bends light at each end with lenses 3333 main parts are the tube and the 2 lenses CCCCriticized for making things look round, air bubbles getting stuck in the glass, color fringing, and dimming

Reflecting Telescopes  Uses both curved and flat mirrors to reflect light and form an image  Niccolo Zucchi created the main idea in 1616, but had trouble with the mirrors making him quit  Sir Isaac Newton then perfected in 1670  Traditional one is known as Newtonian reflector
