Telescope functionality and their contribution

This undergraduate project management poster provides a detailed exploration of telescope functionality and their contribution to understanding the universe. It explains the principles behind refractor and reflector telescopes, highlighting the importance of the objective lens or primary mirror in gathering light and the eyepiece in magnifying images for clarity. The academic poster outlines key telescope properties, such as light collection and magnification, emphasizing how aperture size impacts brightness. It also showcases groundbreaking instruments like the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes, detailing their unique features and scientific contributions. Designed for undergraduates, it combines clarity and scientific depth for effective communication.

TELESCOPES

Did you know that we can't see distant objects clearly because they

take up very little space on our retina?

However, two special pieces in a telescope make this magic happen!

The Objective lens for the refractor telescope or primary mirror

for the reflector telescope, AND

The Eyepiece 2.

The principle of the telescope is to gather lots of light inside it, then use

something like a magnifying glass to enlarge that light to create a bigger

image in our eyes.

The objective lens (in refractor) and the primary miror (in reflectors)

collects lots of light from far away objects and brings the light to a point of

focus. Then, an eyepiece lens spreads out the light from the focus point to

cover a larger portion of the retina.

TELESCOPES GENERAL PROPERTIES

HOW WELL THEY CAN COLLECT LIGHT

This depends on the size of aperture

used to gather light (lens or a mirror)

The larger the aperture, the more

light collected creating a brighter

image.

HOW MUCH THEY CAN MAGNIFY IMAGES

The magnification ability is related to the

combination of the used lenses

Almost any eyepiece can work on a

telescope which makes aperture a more

important feature.

TELESCOPES USED TO EXPLORE

THE UNIVERSE.

James Webb Space

Telescope

Relatively large (6.6 m) and

Can stand temperatures below 50 K (1).

Hubble Space

Telescope

Has three cameras

Benefits ; fiducial period-luminosity, photometric

calibration and a correction for Cepheid metallicity
