Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Newtonian telescope
Newtonian telescope. Historical illustration of a Newtonian telescope used for photographing the Sun. A Newtonian telescope uses a mirror rather than a lens to focus light. This telescope is on an equatorial mount, which allows it to follow the Sun and stars as they move across the sky. This illustration was published in 1904 in Atlante astronomico, by Giuseppe Naccari

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of astronomical history - the Newtonian telescope. Dating back to 1904, this historical illustration highlights the ingenious design that revolutionized the field of astronomy. Unlike traditional telescopes that employ lenses, the Newtonian telescope employs a mirror to focus light, resulting in enhanced clarity and precision. The photograph captures this magnificent instrument mounted on an equatorial mount, enabling it to track both the Sun and stars as they traverse across the celestial sphere. It is fascinating to witness how Giuseppe Naccari's artwork beautifully portrays this scientific marvel from yesteryears. This image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia, transporting us back in time when astronomers relied on such reflective instruments for their observations and photographic endeavors. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the significant contributions made by pioneers like Sir Isaac Newton himself. Their groundbreaking work paved the way for modern-day telescopes and propelled our understanding of space beyond imagination. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a glimpse into our scientific heritage through this stunning visual representation. Let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its role in documenting mankind's quest for cosmic comprehension throughout history.
