Telescopes make things that are faraway look nearer. They work by gathering the light
from an object and bending it to make a tiny picture called an image. The image is then made
larger. Two kinds of telescopes do this job.

The lens or refracting telescope uses two lenses fixed in a tube to keep unwanted light. A
large lens at one end of the tube collects the light. A smaller lens called the eyepiece makes
the image larger.

The other kind of telescope is called the reflecting telescope. Instead of a lens, it has a
curved mirror to collect light. The eyepiece is at one side of the telescope, near the top. Light
from the object passes down the tube and is reflected back by the concave mirror at the
bottom. A small flat mirror directs these rays into the eyepiece.

The invention of the telescope has paved the way to numerous astronomical studies
through the years.

 May 30, 2021. Hundreds of thousands of milkfish washed up dead at Taal Lake in
Talisay, Batangas, south of Manila on Sunday, where baffling environmentalists and raising
concerns over climate change issues.
“About 500 metric tons (500,000 kilos) of fish, worth more than 50 million pesos,
were seen floating in the water in the six towns of Batangas Province the past two days,” a
local mayor told Reuters.
According to a local town agriculturist, the cause of the fish kill was a sudden climate
change in the area.
The common perception about fish kill is linked to the depletion of oxygen in water,
which is due to a number of factors. Gases released from volcanic activities often lead to
poor oxygen levels in nearby lakes, but scientists believe that deaths are not related to
activities inside Taal Volcano, which is surrounded by Taal Lake.
