Glossary term: दूरदर्शक दुर्बीण (टेलिस्कोप)

Description: टेलिस्कोप हे एक असे उपकरण आहे जे दूरच्या वस्तूंमधून फोटॉन (दृश्यमान प्रकाश किंवा इतर तरंगलांबीचे) गोळा करते आणि त्यांच्याबद्दल माहिती (उदा. प्रतिमा) निरीक्षकाला पुरवते. सुरुवातीच्या दुर्बिणीत (१७व्या शतकाच्या सुरुवातीपासून) भिंग हे ऑप्टिकल घटक म्हणून वापरले जात होते (अपवर्तक दुर्बिणी पहा). भिंग किती मोठ्या प्रमाणात बनवता येतील यानुसार मर्यादित असतात, त्यामुळे मोठ्या दुर्बिणीचा वापर करून अधिक तपशीलाने क्षीण खगोलीय वस्तू पाहण्यासाठी, भिंगांऐवजी प्रकाशाला केंद्रित करण्यासाठी आरसे (परावर्तित दुर्बिणी पहा) वापरण्यात आले. सर्वात मोठ्या ऑप्टिकल टेलिस्कोप परावर्तित दुर्बिणी आहेत. 20 व्या शतकात, इलेक्ट्रोमॅग्नेटिक रेडिएशनच्या इतर क्षेत्रांचा अभ्यास करण्यासाठी दुर्बिणींचा शोध लावला गेला, त्यामुळे आता रेडिओ दुर्बिणी, इन्फ्रारेड दुर्बिणी, क्ष-किरण दुर्बिणी इ. अस्तित्त्वात आहेत. खगोलीय स्त्रोत क्षीण असतात, त्यामुळे खगोलशास्त्रज्ञ अधिक प्रकाश गोळा करण्यासाठी मोठ्या दुर्बिणीचा तयार करतात आणि बारीक टोकदार रिझोल्यूशन गाठतात.

Two astronomers view a lunar eclipse. Between them in the partly cloudy sky, a series of bright circles trace a curved path

The Eclipse Between Us, by Muhammad Rayhan, Indonesia

Caption: Second place in the 2021 IAU OAE Astrophotography Contest, category Total lunar eclipse. Total lunar eclipses belong to the rather spectacular celestial events and can be observed easily with and without a telescope. Here we see the stages of the total lunar eclipse of 31.1.2018 photographed in Indonesia: starting with the entry of the full moon disk into Earth's round umbra, the totality as Blood Moon, and the beginning of the Moon's exit from Earth's umbra until moonset.

A telescope points to the sky where the Milky Way sits with mottled dark and light patches.

Learning Nights

Caption: Beneath the sprawling expanse of the night sky over Colombia's Tatacoa Desert, a telescope finds its alignment with the majestic galactic core, while a smartphone captures this cosmic encounter. This snapshot, taken on 9 June 2023 during an astronomy camp, epitomises the accessible beauty of celestial marvels. It showcases the mesmerising grandeur of the night sky, inviting both the casual stargazer and the passionate astronomer alike. The splendour of the Milky Way, elegantly captured through a mobile device, seamlessly bridges the gap between sophisticated equipment and the pure, profound joy of observing the stars.
