The Newtonian telescope, also called the Newtonian reflector or just a Newtonian, is a type of reflecting telescope invented by the English scientist Sir...

diagonal mirror in an optical configuration that has come to be known as the Newtonian telescope. Despite the theoretical advantages of the reflector design...

Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a theory that proposes a modification of Newton's second law to account for observed properties of galaxies. Its...

and others, convincing most European scientists of the superiority of Newtonian mechanics over earlier systems. He built the first practical reflecting...

examine the Newtonian views of conservation of mass, momentum and energy from a relativistic perspective. To understand how the Newtonian view of conservation...

Correction lenses, "coma correctors" for Newtonian reflectors have been designed which reduce coma in newtonian telescopes. These work by means of a dual...

that, Newtonian physics—the physics of everyday life—dominated. Taken in isolation (rather than as an approximation to quantum mechanics), Newtonian physics...

Schmidt–Newtonian telescope or Schmidt–Newton telescope is a catadioptric telescope that combines elements from both the Schmidt camera and the Newtonian telescope...

extra variables needed to solve for all five post-collision velocities. Newtonian, Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and stationary action are the different ways...

1890. After a near fall from the high staging needed to reach the Newtonian focus of the telescope Common decided to convert the telescope to a Cassegrain...

designers almost immediately experimenting with variations, including Newtonian, Cassegrain, and wide-field camera designs. There are many Maksutov designs...

focus, resulting in a rose curve-like shape (see image). Einstein first derived this result by using an approximate metric representing the Newtonian...

obstruction also eliminates the diffraction associated with Cassegrain and Newtonian reflector astrophotography. Catadioptric Cassegrains use two mirrors,...

fiduciary media. Friedrich Hayek took a different perspective not focusing on gold but focusing on regulation of the banking sector via strong central banking...

without destroying the whole structure seems to be impossible." Under Newtonian physics, an object in an (isolated) two-body system, consisting of the...

the focus causes the shapes to move with respect to each other. When the line passes exactly through the middle of the "X", the telescope is in focus and...

Primary focus and Newtonian focus. The angle of view at the primary focus is 4°14', the linear size of the field is 90 mm, and at the Newton, the focus is...

spectrograph is fitted to the Cassegrain focus and an imaging charge-coupled device (CCD) is attached to the Newtonian focus. In 1962, a 48-inch (1.22 m) optical...
