    Wait a second.
    A glass lense that's 1m in diameter that weighs 26 tons?
    ....Or did you mean that the whole telescope is 26 tons?

    • @CanadianOptionsTrader

      I estimate about 1000 kg or less, using a density of 2.51 g/cm3.

    • @jr52990
      @jr52990 7 років тому +2

      That's what I was thinking. 26 tons sounded waaay too much for a lense with a diameter of 1m.
      I mean, unless the depth of the lense was at a magnitude of meters.

  • @hoemuffin
    @hoemuffin 7 років тому +17

    We moved away from refractors not because of light absorption, but because of Chromatic aberration - even with achromats, as aperture increases in size, focal ratio needs to grow much faster in order to offset chromatic aberration. The two lenses are unable to bring all the colors into focus. It wasn't until the creation of apochromats with their ED/Flourite elements that refractors - but those don't work on large scales because it is prohibitively expensive.
    There is also the issue that very large lenses are very thick, very hard to make. Once you get past a certain point, the glass will just bend and flex due to its own mass, which of course ruins the image. Reflectors have the same issue, but they are at least supported on one end. We've also solved it using segmented mirrors and fancy engineering tricks. The creation of adaptive optics allow us to get very clear, distortion free views of space at a fraction of the cost of a space telescope.

  • @RolandBanc
    @RolandBanc 7 років тому +2

    Nice video, but to be honest, I am not really satisfied with some of the explanations.
    Firstly the magnification of the telescope can not be understood by what you've said. The image does not look bigger, because the the object seems to be at front of your eyes. If this would be the case then stars shoul also be bigger, but they are also point-like trough telescope.
    The real answer comes if you sent other parellel lights trough the telescope. In this case you should observe that the angle, the lights comes into the objective is sometimes greater at the ocular. This magnification of the angles is the real deal.
    Furthermore, Newton-type telescopes are not primary good for the lack of reflected light on the objective. Mirrors ara much easier to produce, much lighter, and they does't have the effect of cromatic distortion.
