Scientists have developed an impossibly thin telescope lens that addresses a key astronomical challenge in a new study funded ...

Here's how an innovative flat lens could solve these problems for satellites and space-based telescopes. Understanding ...

New results from the CHIME telescope support the hypothesis that fast radio bursts originate in close proximity to the turbulent magnetosphere of a central engine.

and that this could be overcome by making lenses with longer focal length, resulting in monsters like Hevelius's 45-metre-long telescope in Danzig. Two key inventions enabled astronomers to ...

Why? The most common reason is that magnification capability doesn’t match with the telescope’s objective size. In detail, it’s the objective focal length (FL or F). The bigger the objective size, the ...
