Is it possible to do DIY telescopes using (2-3) lens and cardboard? How does it works?
In: Planetary Science
There’s nothing magical about telescope technology and it’s common for kids to make them in elementary school with paper towel rolls and magnifying glasses. Generally speaking, something that people could construct on their own in the 17th century can still be constructed in the 21st.
If you want to literally make one from scratch you would need to carve and polish the lenses yourself, but otherwise you can gather the parts and find instructions with no trouble.
