Maksutov Cassegrain vs Reflector Telescopes (Explained!)

The main differences between Maksutov-cassegrain (Maks) and reflector telescopes are that reflector telescope only use mirrors, either spherical or parabolic whereas Maks use a combination of a spherical mirror and a glass based corrector lens. As a result of their designs, Maks require light to bounce twice inside the tube making them great for planetary … Read more

Sun vs Mercury (How Are They Different?)

The main differences between the Sun and Mercury is that the Sun is a yellow dwarf star, that is the brightest entity in our solar system, has the most mass, is the largest entity in our solar system and it is the entity within our local region that provides energy to the planets around us … Read more

Sun vs Venus (How Do They Differ?)
