Telescopes-Astrology 1002C

Research a telescope of your choice. It must be one particular, individual telescope used for scientific purposes. It could be a ground-based telescope, a space telescope, a telescope that is no longer in use, or one that is yet to be completed. Try to pick one you think no one else would have heard of. Remember to cite sources in full. Tell us:

• Some general background information about the telescope?
• Why was/will it be positioned/located where it is?
• What type of telescope is it (what type of detectors does it have) and how does it work, in simple terms?
• What is the main target for the telescope? In other words, explain what the scientists observe using this particular telescope.
• Any references used, along with page numbers and the name of the person who wrote any information obtained,.
