A telescope is an instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light). The first known practical telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 1600s (the 17th century), using glass lenses. They found use in terrestrial applications and astronomy.
Within a few decades, the reflecting telescope was invented, which used mirrors. In the 20th century many new types of telescopes were invented, including radio telescopes in the 1930s and infrared telescopes in the 1960s. The word telescope now refers to a wide range of instruments detecting different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and in some cases other types of detectors.
The word "telescope" (from the Greek τῆλε, tele "far" and σκοπεῖν, skopein "to look or see"; τηλεσκόπος, teleskopos "far-seeing") was coined in 1611 by the Greek mathematician Giovanni Demisiani for one of Galileo Galilei's instruments presented at a banquet at the Accademia dei Lincei. In the Starry Messenger Galileo had used the term "perspicillum".

War Stories That Even "M*A*S*H" Couldn't Tell You!
It's "M*A*S*H" with an X
Now I have climbed your walls
And walked along your salty pond
The love we trained went wild
Painted windows on the walls
Of a cavernous heart
Here's my telescope, here's my potato gun
Here's my dumb attempt to shoot into the sun
And every morning with the radio on
Not gonna sit around here and cry til you're gone
Now tears can't stop the fire
They're really more like candledrops
The wax is rolling down
In flames that char the paper walls
Of a cavernous heart
Here's my telescope, and here's my potato gun
And here's my dumb attempt to shoot into the sun
And every morning with the radio on
Not gonna sit around here and cry til you're gone
Now I am stranded here
Alone with you and everyone
The love we trained went wild
Painted windows on the walls
Of a cavernous heart
Here's my telescope, and here's my potato gun
And here's my dumb attempt to shoot into the sun
And every morning with the radio on
[Intro:]
See that's the good thing about my hair man...
All I do is put water in that shit so I pull a joint out and it don't be all greasy and oily...
Turn up...
[Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa]
Your flow a diamond does it
My flow you gotta love it
My city hot as fuck and
Came from the bottom of it
But not a product of it
Bitch all my rides accustomed
Smoking my ganja public
I'm all about that money
Dress like everyday sunny
Rolling weed like a Marley
Smile like everything funny
But this industry shady
Most these niggas are crazy
Most of them quick to lose they soul, no if or a maybe
These nudies what I'm wearing
The truth is what you're hearing
The bong is what I'm clearing
The kush is overbearing
Ferrari's what I'm steering
I'm smoking while I'm driving
Keep looking in the mirror
Make sure no ones behind us
Cause niggas get jealous when your bank start to swell up
So much that people at the bank start to tell us
You need to have somebody bank for you fellas
[Hook: Wiz Khalifa]
Look at me, Look at me, Look at me
Look at them and look at me
Look at me, Look at me, Look at me
Look at them and look at me
[Verse 1: 50 Cent]
I paint a perfect picture, a perfect portrait
Poverty, robbery killa be kills psychology
I shine just me and my nine
I screw niggas head and clock sharp and like this Columbine
Guess I'm one of a kind
I see you niggas soft when a shell hit your face that hit your weight
That flip your coffin
Bitch get to walkin', this sabrina's orphan
I'm like the virus, the 38, the pop cyrus
Warriors are victorious
Come out to play, I mean right away
Shit found the gunner
Imperior money drawers
Outdoor nigga breaking county laws
It's hard bottom line
Tie money for some time
Eight p while you up
Kush smoke back, cope
Push the dope, cut dope, so what
I cut throat and fuck hoes
So I ain't gotta say it's time to go
She already know for sure when it's time to go
[Hook: Wiz Khalifa]
Look at me, Look at me, Look at me
Look at them and look at me
Look at me, Look at me, Look at me
Up here alone in this room
Watching you come into view
Off in the distance where I want you to stay
Can't get you out of my mind
I'm tired of passing the time
I've got your picture and all I can do is try to look away
[Chorus]
You're in my telescope
You don't wanna get too close
It's easy to stay where you feel safe
You circle around at night and shine like a satellite
It's easier when you're far away
You disappear in the crowd
I scream but don't make a sound
I never know when you might come back again
So close but don't let me in
You still get under my skin and it's showing
And all I can do is try to look away
[Chorus]
I'm a fool for every move
For coming back to you
I'm a fool afraid of love
You're in a telescope
You don't wanna get too close
It's easy to stay where you feel safe
[Chorus]
You're far away
Alone in this room
Watching you come into view
Off in the distance
Where I want you to stay
Can?t get you out of my mind
I?m tired of passing the time
I?ve got your picture
And all I can do is try to look away
You?re in my telescope
You don?t wanna get too close
It?s easy to stay where you feel safe
You circle around at night
And shine like a satellite
It?s easier when you?re far away
You disappear in the crowd
I scream but don?t make a sound
I never know when you might
Come back again
So close but don?t let me in
You still get under my skin
And it?s showing
And all I can do is try to look away
You?re in my telescope
You don?t wanna get too close
It?s easy to stay where you feel safe
You circle around at night
And shine like a satellite
It?s easier when you?re far away
I?m a fool for every move
For coming back to you
I?m a fool afraid of love
You?re in a telescope
You don?t wanna get too close
It?s easy to stay where you feel safe
You?re in my telescope
You don?t wanna get too close
It?s easy to stay where you feel safe
You circle around at night
And shine like a satellite
Can't place attachment
To such a contraption
At such an early hour
In such a desperate state
I won't rest on promises
Or guarantees or contracts
That don't lend any power
Or influence to fate
This device may make
The vulnerable visible
And the complex simple
Blast delusions of grandeur
Out of the sky
But the result is a sleep on the floor
With a bottle of wine
And i, and i, and i
Thinks he's probably not as clever as he thinks he is
Five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting
For his father to come home
Sitting on that plane getting cheated out of thursday
And all because of the laws about time and space
Across the aisle his tie wrapped round his neck
Arms wrapped round a briefcase
Like it's something or someone more important
And all the excitement
You can see the comet from here
You can see anything you wanna see
Magnified 500 times
I only wanna see you
But there's a comet blocking my view
You know we're probably not as clever as we think we are
Five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting
For his father to come home
He must have fallen asleep on the train
Must have missed his stop
I know you and you know me
But i've got a telescope now and it's all that i need
It's all that i need (x2)
You're all that i need
All that i need
Five pm, bright idea, sitting on the fence like a schoolboy waiting
For his father to come home
He must have fallen asleep on the train
Must have missed his stop
I know you and you know me
But i've got a telescope now and it's all that i need
It's all that i need (x2)
I can see
You're all that i need
( Storageland EP )
I'm looking up through the telescope lens
I'm wondering where does the universe end
I'll take my clothes off for meteor showers
I'll take my clothes off and climb into bed
But all the stars that shoot in the sky
They're falling in love with the sun
They're falling in love with the sun
You're terribly happy that I came home early
I've fallen asleep in the afternoon
Get under the covers i'll give you some kisses
And we'll lie on the roof and stare up at the moon
But all the dumb cats in my neighborhood
I know they'll get me soon
They'll find a way into my room
Oh tell me a secret and tell me a story
Lets make up plans that will never come true
This is delicious, hey thanks for the dinner
I hear footsteps approaching, I'm hoping it's you
But all the blankets on the bed
They're tangled in heaps around you
I can't get my arms around you
They're tangled in heaps around you
I can't get my arms around you
Inside the mouth of a massive dormant volcano,
a lens is gathering distant fingerprints,
of flying objects that swim in ultraviolet
like dazzling clandestine submarines.
We wear the pearly necklace of the Milky Way.
We chase the dusty tails of run away galaxies.
Looking through our telescope, the Cyclops eye.
Let's make an empty moment of honouring silence,
for the recently deceased unnoticed stars.
Looking through our telescope, the Cyclops eye.
Black holes are violating the spatial matrix.
And comets feed the hungry grasp of gravity
Ancient astronomers observe the upper tapestries.
The body of the universal soul.
We wear the pearly necklace of the Milky Way.
We chase the dusty tails of run away galaxies.
Laura's stars start to go out
and Jonah starts to burn
Laura's stars start to go out
and darken Jonah's world
the story is scribed
in light on the sky
a fifteen year old, empty heart, telescope, and too much time
Laura's stars start to go out
and Jonah starts to burn
Laura's stars start to go out
and darken Jonah's world
with a delicate line
he traces her mouth
from star to star heart to heart, she's his way out
if she could love him
then she would find
she'd become flesh or i'd become stars, it would be fine
you go out
you think you're the center of my universe
heart made of nothing, my love, and light
you think you're the center of my universe
but another star goes out each night
Laura's stars start to go out
and Jonah starts to burn
Laura's stars start to go out
I think i lost some years, sometimes i don't know how
I forget to remember now
You used to tell me things that you were thinking
Now we don't even talk, that's what i'm thinking
Let's have a day outside for the lonely
They're gonna cry tonight
I've got some stuff in a box, maybe i'll show you sometime
But the box would think that was unwise
Some days the view from here, it means nothing
I woke up with the fear again this morning
Let's have a day outside in the sun
Play around and have a lot of fun
We've got some telescopes in our hands
Just try to keep them pointed at the land
Let's have a day outside tonight
I've been distracted from the things that i wanna do
tangle the night sight
caught in the eye
needle and thread,
needle and knife
i'm in the room and
you're in the bed with her
i see the unseen
and i am feeling just like
a telescope, i turn my eyes away
cause i know
it's more than i can take
telescope yeah
i can see the ending
i can see the ending down
and i can't come down
a quiet kisser, unending doubt
all smoke and sin, black it all out
fade in a blur, and
fade in the light
you empty your glass you leave me behind
and i'm inside the
telescope, i turn my eyes away
cause i know
it's more than i can take
telescope yeah
i can see the ending
i can see the ending down
and i can't come down
who, ho, who, ho, who, ho
telescope yeah
i can see the ending
i can see the ending down
and i can't come down
I've been here a while
Staring at this screen wondering what I'll write
Things I can't explain
But should've tried to say when I had the time
You were inspiration
When no one else believed
You showed me strength in my skin
That no one else could see
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
I remember how
Like a telescope you could always find
(You could always find)
Something worth a wish
You said every day's a gift and we'll be alright
(We'll be alright)
And something took you from me
I can't understand why
But wherever you're resting
(I'm carrying)
I'm carrying your line
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
You can stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
(Let's just keep driving on)
(Let's go where we belong)
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
You can stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile
My only hope
You're my telescope
(My only hope
You're my telescope)
My only hope
You're my telescope
(My only hope)
My only hope
I wish I had a telescope to guide this ship tonight
And at break of light bursting through the sand heavy sky
How do I get to you now?
I guess I'll have to learn how to swim, so I won't drown
I wish I had a little hope to help me feel alright
And happy inside running through the sand heavy mind
How do I get to you now?
Guess I'll have to learn how to breathe and work it out
And I'll float the waves of rolling tides
I'll set my pace, bide my time
And I'll get to you, I'll get to you
I'll get to you, my love
I'll float the waves of rolling tides
And I'll set my pace, bide my time
And I'll get to you, I'll get to you
