Abstract

As a matter of fact, telescopes play the most vital role in astrophysics and cosmology observations, which are the key facilities for recording the spectrum as well as intensity information. In recent years, thousands large telescopes have been built and some amazing observations have been achieved based on the advanced telescopes (e.g., black holes recording from EHT and galaxy formation by JWST). With this in mind, the passage mainly introduces three types of frequently used telescope, i.e., refractor, reflecting, and catadioptric telescopes. At the same time, their recent developing results in astronomy fields such as discoveries of extraterrestrial as well as blackbody are discussed. The consisting of the facilities as well as the detection parameters and categories are also summarized and evaluated. According to the analysis, their limitations such as the change in atmosphere directions and prospect in the future are clarified and demonstrated. Overall, these results pave a path for further investigation of telescopes and cosmology observations.
