Massive multi-billion investments are done on the design, installation, and maintenance of telescopes. The primary purpose of a telescope may be described as to collect packets of light and bring them to one focal point for purposes of magnification by the eyepiece (Smith& McCray, 2009). Therefore, the type of optical design of the telescope determines how the light is focused and hence the different types of telescopes.  The main functions or importance of the telescope as compared to using the human eye is that telescopes focus more light than the bare human eye, have a much higher angular resolution and can detect wavelengths not visible to the human eye (Romanishin, 2002). Additionally, unlike the human eye, telescopes have the ability to store a large collection of the observed.Massive multi-billion investments are done on the design, installation, and maintenance of telescopes.
