(bulging inward). Most curved mirrors have surfaces that are shaped like part of a sphere‚ but other shapes are sometimes used in optical devices. The most common non-spherical type are parabolic reflectors‚ found in optical devices such as reflecting telescopes that need to image distant objects‚ since spherical mirror systems‚ like spherical lenses‚ suffer from spherical aberration. One advantage that mirror optics have over lens optics is that mirrors do not introduce chromatic aberration. * | Convex

astronomical discoveries that he made using a telescope. He utilized the telescope in the year of 1616. Galileo faced numerous challenges and remarkable discoveries which impacted science forever. The telescope was first invented by a Dutch eyeglass maker named Hans Lippershey in 1608‚ but it was Galileo who first commenced the astronomical discoveries by pointing the telescope towards the sky (Madoney‚ 2009). It is important to recognize Galileo’s work with telescopes‚ astronomical discoveries‚ society and

Galileo Galilei is a man known for greatly improving the telescope‚ discovering Jupiter’s four largest moons‚ and being the man who experimented with falling objects in the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He was an Italian astronomer‚ mathematician‚ and a physicist. He gave important contributions to science‚ especially in the field of astronomy. With his telescope‚ he discovered the moon’s spherical shape and rough texture‚ Venus’ phases‚ and Jupiter’s moons that do not revolve around earth. All which contradicted
