How do telescopes work?

Telescopes collect the light received from very dim and really far away celestial objects. Discover how they do this using very simple optics in a series of hands-on activities where we will guide light using objects like mirrors, lenses, lasers, glasses and bottles of water. Let’s discover different types of existing telescopes following the steps of famous scientists like Galileo Galilei and Hans Lippershey!
