The telescope

                                      The telescope

Telescope is an instrument which is used to view the distant objects mainly in space. From sitting in the backward of house, we can explore the space provided sky is free of dark clouds. People have discovered many planets, asteroids and even the comets using telescope.
The modern day telescope what we are using now, is first used by 2 scientists from Netherlands in 1608. The orbit of planets thus found is calculated and if there is a lapse in the movement, it is mainly due to the presence of other object. Thus the hunt for various planet like objects goes.
