This article should be expanded. Some of the things that should be included should be what optical astronomy can and cannot see, the various types of telescopes for optical astronomy, and some history on the origins of optical astronomy (including notable figures). 70.252.81.84 (talk) 16:21, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some expansion has occurred due to improvement to the sky article. I do not plan to go much further in this article's development. Hopefully, the improvement will inspire someone else to continue the work. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:32, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm planning on doing some work on this article. As suggested above, I was thinking I'd add types of telescopes, what optical astronomy can and can't see, and maybe expand on some history on optical telescopes and/or visible-light astronomy in general. As for types of telescopes, I'll probably briefly cover them in a similar way it was covered in Optical_telescope. Here are some sources I'm looking to use: Elert, Glenn. "The Electromagnetic Spectrum, The Physics Hypertextbook". Hypertextbook.com., History_of_astronomy and History_of_the_telescope for some general history on visible-light astronomy, especially since early astronomy was visible-light based. I plan on expanding this list but that's what I have so far. Feel free to suggest more sources. OdellZ17 (talk) 04:48, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
