Telescopic Tale

Abstract

The story of evolution of telescope is like the never ending tail of Hanuman on whose tail Raban, the then King of Lanka wanted to wrap with clothes and Hanuman increased his tail’s length as he wished. Starting as an apparatus to see distant objects it is now passing through astonishing phases with the ever increasing development of modern science and technology skill and we do not know where it will stop. We are now trying to give a short account of telescopes evolution till date with our limited bookish knowledge in the present era of internet.
