Telescope technology involves the design, construction, and operation of telescopes, which are instruments used to observe and study objects in the night sky. This field encompasses a wide range of technologies, including optical systems, mirrors, lenses, detectors, and data processing systems. Telescope technology also includes advancements in adaptive optics, which correct for atmospheric turbulence to improve image quality, as well as the development of advanced observing techniques such as interferometry and spectroscopy. Researchers in this area continually strive to improve the sensitivity, resolution, and efficiency of telescopes in order to enable new discoveries in astronomy and astrophysics.
