Telescope History Archived 2021-02-14 at the Wayback Machine, NASA Official Website, accessed 02/09/2019; History of the Telescope, accessed 02/09/2019; List of astronomical observatories and telescopes, Encyclopedia Britannica, 02/09/2019
The list includes both single dishes and interferometric arrays. The list is sorted by region, then by name; unnamed telescopes are in reverse size order at the end of the list. The first radio telescope was invented in 1932, when Karl Jansky at Bell Telephone Laboratories observed radiation coming from the Milky Way.
Telescopes can be classified by optical design or mechanical design/construction. Telescopes can also be classified by where they are placed, such as space telescopes. One major determining factor is type of light, or particle being observed including devices referred to as "telescopes" that do not form an image or use optics.
