Newtonian reflecting telescope, artwork C017 / 7062

Newtonian reflecting telescope. Computer artwork of parallel beams of monochromatic light passing through a Newtonian reflecting telescope. The light first hits a primary concave (converging) mirror (right) and is reflected backwards to strike a small flat diagonal secondary mirror (left). This mirror reflects the light perpendicularly out of the telescope to the eyepiece (upper left)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Newtonian Reflecting Telescope" showcases the intricate design and functionality of this remarkable instrument. Against a striking black background, parallel beams of monochromatic light gracefully traverse through the telescope's various components. At the heart of this masterpiece lies a primary concave mirror on the right side, eagerly awaiting its encounter with incoming light. As the light strikes this mirror, it obediently reflects backward, embarking on an extraordinary journey within the telescope. On its path towards discovery, the reflected light encounters a small flat diagonal secondary mirror positioned on the left side. This cleverly placed mirror redirects the light perpendicularly out of the telescope to reach its final destination -the eyepiece located in the upper left corner. The artist skillfully captures every detail and curvature of these essential elements that make up Isaac Newton's groundbreaking invention. The magnifying power and optical precision are beautifully portrayed in this illustration. With great attention to physics and optics, this artwork not only celebrates Newton's genius but also serves as a visual testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our vast universe. It is an ode to both scientific exploration and artistic expression merged seamlessly into one captivating print.
