Reflecting telescope, artwork C017 / 7352
Reflecting telescope. Computer artwork showing the structure of a typical small reflecting telescope. A reflecting telescope is a type of optical telescope that collects light through a concave mirror that reflects it to a focal point, forming an image. The reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century as an alternative to the refracting telescope, which, at that time, was a design that suffered from severe chromatic aberration. Most large-scale professional optical telescopes are now reflectors

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Reflecting Telescope" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the inner workings of a typical small reflecting telescope. Against a striking black background, the intricate structure of this astronomical device is beautifully illustrated, showcasing its technological prowess. A reflecting telescope is an optical marvel that harnesses the power of light through a concave mirror. As depicted in this print, the mirror reflects incoming light to a focal point, where it forms a clear and vivid image. This invention emerged in the 17th century as an ingenious alternative to refracting telescopes plagued by chromatic aberration. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate both the internal and physical components of this remarkable machine. Every cutout and illustration highlights the precision and complexity involved in constructing such advanced equipment for space observation. While primarily used by amateur astronomers, reflecting telescopes have also found their place among professional observatories worldwide. Their ability to gather vast amounts of celestial data has made them indispensable tools for exploring our universe's mysteries. Carlos Clarivan's artwork masterfully captures not only the scientific significance but also the aesthetic beauty inherent in these devices. Whether you are an astronomy enthusiast or simply captivated by technology's wonders, this print serves as a stunning tribute to one of humanity's greatest inventions –the reflecting telescope.
