An optical instrument or device designed to view or observe the cosmos or universe; a telescope or similar viewing apparatus.
From Greek kosmos (world/universe) + -scope (from skopeein, to view). Similar to other scientific instruments like microscope and telescope, this term refers to tools for cosmic observation.
While most people use 'telescope,' cosmoscope is the more literal term—it means literally 'world-viewer,' suggesting you're using it to understand the universe as a whole, not just individual stars.
