An instrument used by astronomer to look for heavenly bodies in the sky.
A
telescope
B
kaleidoscope
C
gyroscope
D
microscope
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Telescope is an optical instrument which forms the image of a very far off object nearer to the eye so that the object is seen distinct and bigger. Hence, the telescope is used to observe celestial objects like the moon, planets, stars, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telescope: It is used to see distinct objects which we cannot see through our free eyes. It helps to see the heavenly bodies in the sky by enlarging it with the help of concave and convex lenses. We can also see the diagram for better understanding. So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Detailed explanation-3: -A telescope is an optical instrument designed to make distant objects like stars, planets, appear nearer, containing an arrangement of lenses, or of curved mirrors and lenses, by which rays of light are collected and focused and the resulting image magnified. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-4: -An astronomical telescope is an instrument that works on the principle of optics used to view the enlarged image of far heavenly bodies like stars and galaxies. The last image formed by an astronomical telescope is always virtual, inverted, and magnified.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the past century or so, astronomy has been broadly split into two camps-observational astronomy (using telescopes and cameras to collect data about the night sky) and theoretical astronomy (using that data to analyze, model and theorize about how objects and phenomena work).
