Solution

A telescope assists the eye chiefly in two way by enlarging the visual angle under which a distant object is seen, and thus magnifying that object; and. secondly, by collecting, and conveying to the eye, a larger beam of light than would enter the naked organ, thus rendering objects distinct and visible which would otherwise be indistinct and or invisible.
