What telescope did newton invent?
He invented the reflecting telescope. Galileo was the first to use the telescope for studies of the heavens.
What kind of telescope did Galileo invent?
Refracting telescope
Why did Isaac Newton invent the telescope?
Newton did not invent the telescope, he invented the reflecting telescope. The reflecting telescope was a major improvement over the distorting refracting telescope.
Did Galileo Galilei invent the refracting telescope?
yes he used it when he discovered all the moons of jupiter
Who is credited with inventing the first Gregorian refracting telescope?
Hans Lippershey was credited in inventing the very first telescope. Galileo did NOT invent the telescope.
Galileo was the first to use what instrument in his line of work?
Galileo did not invent the telescope. The Italian physicist and mathematician improved on an existing spyglass design to create a more powerful one: a refracting telescope that he then used to study the night sky.
Did isaac newton invented the telescoped?
Neither Newton nor Galileo invented the telescope. It was developed independently by various dutch optics makers (Lippershey submitted the first patent). Galileo's first telescope was dutch-made, and he made useful improvements to the initial retractor design. Newton did invent the reflecting telescope (the particular design is now called a Newtonian Telescope). Further improvements to the reflector design were made by Cassegrain and others made improvements to the manufacturing process, greatly improving the mirror quality. A refracting telescope uses a lens as the main objective, while a reflecting telescope uses a mirror. The objective is the component that focuses the light. Reflector telescopes are the most common nowadays, as they do not suffer from chromatic aberration (light splitting due to refraction) and can be built in very large diameters. --- Galileo improved the refracting telescope, but Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
What does Galileo have to do with the telescope?
Galileo invented and assembled the modern telescope that we use in our world today.
Who acutally invented the telescope?
Galileo helped to invent the telescope.
What famous invention did Galileo invent?
the telescope
What cause Galileo to invent a telescope?
His dad inspired him to make a telescope.
When did Johannes Kepler invent the telescope?
Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The first telescopes were developed in the Netherlands and are credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar. Galileo developed improvements on those early refracting telescope designs and Kepler developed improvements on Galileo's design.
