Glossary term: 望遠鏡

Description: 望遠鏡是一種收集遙遠物體的光子(可見光或其他波段)並向觀察者提供有關信息(如圖像)的裝置。早期的望遠鏡(從 17 世紀初開始)使用透鏡作為光學元件(如折射望遠鏡)。透鏡的製作尺寸有上限,因此為了用更大的望遠鏡更細緻地觀察較暗的物體,人們改用鏡子(見反射望遠鏡)來聚焦光線。最大的光學望遠鏡就是反射望遠鏡。在20 世紀,人們發明瞭研究電磁波譜其他波段的望遠鏡,因此現在有了射電望遠鏡、紅外望遠鏡、X 射線望遠鏡等。由於天體很闇弱,天文學家傾向於建造大口徑望遠鏡,以收集更多光線,達到更精細的角分辨率。

兩位天文學家正在觀測月食。在多雲的天空中,在他們之間,一連串明亮的圓圈勾勒出一條彎曲的軌跡。

我們之間的日食,作者穆罕默德·雷漢,印度尼西亞

Caption: 2021年國際天文學聯合會教育辦公室天文攝影大賽月全食類別的第二名。 月全食是一種相當壯觀的天文現象,無論是否使用望遠鏡都可以輕鬆觀測到。這裡展示的是2018年1月31日在印度尼西亞拍攝的月全食各個階段:從滿月進入地球圓形本影的開始,到全食階段呈現的“血月”,再到月亮開始離開地球本影直至月落。

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.
