chromatic aberration in telescopes
Chromatic aberration in telescopes refers to a phenomenon where different colors of light do not converge at the same point, resulting in blurry or distorted images. It occurs due to the inability of the telescope's lens or mirror to focus all colors of light at a single point, causing a loss of sharpness and color fringing in the observed objects.
