*read and tell me if it sounds ok* Telescopes have helped us over the years by helping us find out what's out there in space. Without telescopes, we wouldn’t know anything about space and where we belong in the universe. Here on earth, we get pictures of space all the time because of the two telescopes and cameras we sent into space called the Hubble spacecraft. The Hubble spacecraft is a telescope that can see out into deep space.
The telescopes we send into space are there because we want to know what is out there in space. There are many things in space that we have yet to discover. When Galileo made the telescope he just wanted to know what was out there in space. People also made the telescope because some thought that we were in the center of the universe and the planets orbited us and others thought the opposite. To settle the debate people made the telescope which was a device to see out into space to see if the sun orbited us or if we orbited the sun. When someone looked through the telescope we found out that we orbit the sun.
The telescope was made of two types of special glass: concave glass and convex glass. When the glass was made people used it to make seeing glasses for people. When someone looked through the glass they realized that they could see further than normal people could. People made the glass bigger and could see even further. They used this to make the telescope see as far as it did. When the telescope was invented it was 6 ft long and that's another thing that helped it see far out into space. The telescope also had two glass mirrors in it so you could see even further.
Telescopes have helped us find out where we belong in the universe multiple times. Without telescopes we wouldn’t know if Earth was the center of our solar system or if the Sun was. Thousands of discoveries were made by the Hubble telescope and were used to estimate how old our solar system is. The Hubble telescope isn't the only telescope the JWST ( or James Webb Space Telescope) it will orbit 940,000 miles from earth.
