Abstract

Astronomical telescopes have been instrumental in enhancing our comprehension of the cosmos since ancient eras. This study explores these remarkable instruments' principles and state-of-art applications, tracing their development from early refracting telescopes to modern space and ground-based telescopes. The primary focus is to analyze the imaging principles of optical and radio telescopes and showcase their significance in capturing high-resolution observations of celestial objects. It also highlights recent achievements made by advanced telescopes, including the James Webb Space Telescope and the Event Horizon Telescope, which have provided unprecedented clarity and insights into distant galaxies, exoplanets, and supermassive black holes. This research presents breakthrough achievements made by advanced telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the Event Horizon Telescope in revealing distant galaxies, exoplanets, and supermassive black holes. Despite the limitations in astronomical telescope research, such as errors, atmospheric interference, and high costs, the paper emphasizes a promising future. Through technological advancements, international collaboration, and cost-effective space telescopes, astronomical research is expected to make significant progress. In summary, these results provide a comprehensive analysis of astronomical telescopes, enriches the frontiers of astronomy, underscores the importance of international cooperation, and offer essential guidance for the future development of astronomy.
