Radio antennas in a parabolic shape are called radio telescopes. They are constructed from large groups of dishes are made of mesh wire. Since 2005, the matrix sizes many times greater than the width of the Earth.

Optical telescopes focus light mainly from the visible end of the spectrum. You can increase the size of distant objects, as well as its brightness. These scopes use mirrors or lenses to certain types of collect light and focus. A good example would be a pair of binoculars.

X-ray or gamma ray telescopes are the rays that pass through several glasses and metals. The mirrors involved in these areas are usually in a parabolic shape. Gammareaches even trying to approach, which uses a specific code to tell them what they are looking for the shadows are. These areas are usually around the Earth.

Reflector telescopes have been developed by Isaac Newton. Reflecting telescopes used a mirror to capture lightthat is placed inthe rear of the telescope. These scopes offer bigger and brighter vision broad view ofcomets and star clusters.

Refractor telescopes are the ones that are most common. They are usually made ​​of a long tube that holds a piece of glass at one end and the other eye.
