Telescope Line

The telescope-line icon represents a simple outline of a telescope, an optical instrument used for observing distant objects in the sky. It is commonly associated with astronomy and space exploration. The telescope has been a crucial tool for scientists and astronomers to study the universe and make new discoveries.

In software and platforms, the telescope icon is often used in astronomy and space-related applications, such as planetarium software, star tracking apps, and space exploration games. It can also be found in educational resources, such as interactive textbooks and science websites.

From a UX perspective, the simple telescope icon communicates a sense of exploration and investigation. It helps users understand that they are accessing a feature or tool that allows them to observe or explore something in detail. The icon can be used to represent a basic function or tool, guiding users to find new information or insights.

Telescope Line is one of 3,320 icons in MingCute Icon, made by MingCute Design and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds TelescopeLineIcon to components/icons/mingcute-telescope-line.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed TelescopeLineIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Telescope Line icon, or any of 3,320 MingCute Icon icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Telescope Line", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TelescopeLineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TelescopeLineIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming MingCute Icon, MingCute Design and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
