During my research I found out about the Hubble space telescope. It is in space. It uses ultraviolet light to see stars that telescopes on earth cannot see. It can see other galaxies very clear. Regular telescopes an see other galaxies, but not as clear.
Modern telescopes use mirrors instead of lens.
The light from faint stars is collected in the mirror. Since the mirror is there, the light is enhanced, so the star looks brighter. Binoculars are like 2 very small telescopes. Doing all this work has helped me write and spell better. If I had more time I could have made a list of all the recent telescope parts.
