The reflecting telescope was invented in 1668, by Sir Isaac Newton as an alternative to the refracting telescope. Reflectors capture light in a parabolic mirror at the bottom of an open tube, then reflect the light and bring it to a focus near the top of the tube. As the least expensive design per inch of an aperture, reflectors are known for giving astronomers a better option to explore the depths of space.
