This web site has a pretty good description of how telescopes work:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/telescope1.htm
Basically, a telescope has a large lens or mirror to gather light into an image, and then you use a magnifying glass (called an eyepiece) to look at this image in detail. It's possible to make a simple telescope from a couple of lenses, but a good telescope for astronomy is best purchased complete. A good telescope will cost about $200 to $300.
