Liquid mirror telescope - A liquid mirror telescope is a reflecting telescope whose primary mirror is a rotating pool of a reflective liquid, usually mercury.

Liquid mirror - Liquid mirrors are mirrors made with reflective liquids. The most common liquid used is mercury, but other liquids will work, as well.

Newtonian telescope - The Newtonian telescope is a type of reflecting telescope invented by the British scientist Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727), using a parabolic primary mirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror.

Schmidt-Newton telescope - The optical design of the Schmidt-Newton telescope combines elements from both the Schmidt camera and the Newtonian telescope. In this system the parabolic primary mirror common in newtonian reflector is replaced by a spherical mirror, which introduces spherical aberration.
