In software applications, the telescope icon could be used in educational platforms, scientific software, and astronomy apps to represent exploration and discovery. This icon helps users quickly identify and access astronomy-related content.

From a UX perspective, the telescope icon communicates curiosity and exploration. It helps users understand that they can explore and discover new things.

Telescope is one of 200 icons in Stickies color icons, made by Streamline and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 40 × 40 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 TelescopeIcon to components/icons/streamline-stickies-color-telescope.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 TelescopeIcon 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 icon, or any of 200 Stickies color icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 40 × 40 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. TelescopeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TelescopeIcon 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.
