Difference between Arecibo Observatory and Telescope

Arecibo Observatory vs. Telescope

The Arecibo Observatory is a radio telescope in the municipality of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. A telescope is an optical instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light).

Search for extraterrestrial intelligence

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a collective term for scientific searches for intelligent extraterrestrial life, for example, monitoring electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations on other planets.

Spherical aberration

Spherical aberration is an optical effect observed in an optical device (lens, mirror, etc.) that occurs due to the increased refraction of light rays when they strike a lens or a reflection of light rays when they strike a mirror near its edge, in comparison with those that strike close to the centre.
