Why can a telescope show a wider field yet resolve less detail, or magnify a blur without adding information?

An observatory telescope views a broad star field while a close double star is enlarged as a separate detail target.
Vastward artistic reconstruction. The close pair motivates the resolution task; the lab uses an explicitly simplified sampling model.
