This is how important the measurement you have made is and remember to check again the steps you have checked.įinalize the scope you created. If it doesn’t still work, you have to start over. If you can’t slot the first tube into the second, make some adjustments. The two shouldn’t be loose, they should fit very well. Insert the first tube into the second one. Make sure they do fit very well to ensure that the tubes are holding the glasses tightly enough. Fit the first magnifying glass tube to the second one. Remember that magnifying glasses are not in the same sizes too. Make sure that the tubes you created aren’t the same size. This time, you need to glue the tubes the same way as how you glued the paper. You have made the two magnifying glass tubes and some part of them remains uncut. Make sure there is no other part of the paper touched by glue or you will get a crappy telescope as a result. Do the same to the edges of the paper as well. First, glue the paper around the two magnifying glasses. You need to give some space for the glue to work. This is the reason why you left some part of the tube and paper uncut. Leave about an inch of tube behind the smaller magnifying glass for the glue. The bigger one should be placed at the front and the smaller one is at the back of it. When the cutting of the slot for the two magnifying glasses is done, place them now in their slots. This time, you should have a corrugated paper in two lengths in which one is slightly larger than the other. Make sure the magnifying glass fits accurately into the slot and is capable of holding the glass throughout the project. Cut the same way as what you did when cutting the first slot. It should have the same distance from the first slot. Step 5 – Cut down the Marked Line (Second glass)Ĭut down the second slot in the tube for the second magnifying glass. The slot should be able to hold the large magnifying glass so don’t cut the slot of the tube all the way. To do this, cut a slot in the cardboard tube near the front opening. To make it clearer, place the second magnifying glass, the smaller one, between your eye and the bigger glass. Notice that, at first, you can see things blurry. Get the bigger magnifying glass and hold it between you and the paper. You should plan to perform this project in a clean, convenient room. White glue is fine but water glue is better for a cleaner result. Prepare two magnifying glasses but they shouldn’t have the same size. A piece of corrugated paper can be found at any paper stores. For your ease, basic materials are listed above. This will make the process flow smoothly. Gather all materials needed before the project starts. Warning: Do not use the telescope to view the sun or it will burn the retina of your eyes. Another great advantage of telescopes is that it can record observations with cameras so that you can share your observations with the world. Telescopes, however, can see finer details. What makes telescopes better is that it can collect photons over huge areas making it proficient at collecting lots of light that human eyes cannot.ĭue to the wave nature of light and the nerves in the eyes of a human, we only have an ability to see details that are similar to the size of the Jupiter’s width. This is why we can collect photons over a tiny area. Human pupils are only a few millimeters across. By collecting light in a way that our eyes are not capable of such as ultraviolet, infrared, microwave, radio and gamma rays, telescopes can see lots of colors. Why would you like to use a telescope? Astronomers use this amazing device because it shows distant objects better than our eyes can. However, if you don’t want to spend a bunch of dollars buying one, it is good to know how to build a telescope yourself. Today, you can buy lots of better than Galileo’s telescope, the first telescope, everywhere. The telescope has changed how human view the space and how we view ourselves. This great invention is an instrument of thought as well. But a telescope is more than just an extension of our senses. It lets people see how beautiful the night sky can be. The telescope invention has changed everything. Wonder how to make a telescope with all your two bare hands even if you have no experience making it? It’s about 400 years since the telescope has invented and it has become an essential scientific instrument that changes the view of the universe. ![]()
