What is a Newtonian Telescope?
You might be asking “why is this called a Newtonian
telescope?” Well, it’s because it was invented by Sir Isaac
Newton himself. In case you didn’t know, Sir Isaac was one
of the world’s most renowned Scientists and Philosophers.
Around 1668, in-between formulating the laws of gravity,
advancing calculus and discovering that white light is made
up of ALL colors, he took some time to create a better
telescope design that would cut out “chromatic aberration”
(blurry images). He did this by removing lenses and replacing
them with mirrors. This basic design is still used today, some
350 years later!
How does it work?
So, it’s called a Newtonian, because of who invented it, it’s
also called a “reflector” because of how it works. It’s all
done by mirrors. By removing the panel on your Celestron
Kids telescope, you can see the inner mirrors. They are
called the “primary” mirror and secondary mirror. Here’s
how the whole system works: The light enters the telescope
tube, travels all the way to the primary mirror. The light is
reflected then to the secondary mirror, which reflects the
light to the eyepiece and your eye.
Now that you know the history, get out there and use your
Celestron Kids Newtonian Reflector telescope. Start by
