Did Gelileo Gelili's invent the telescope and did he have any problems convincing his country about his invented telescope?

Galileo is the first recorded builder of the refracting telescope that I have been able to find. His doing so very nearly cost him his life as the church ruled science of the day and they felt his ideas were a real problem. He is reported to have spent the last 8 or 9 years of his life under 'house arrest'. -R. Edwards-Futurist

â 12y agoWith greater magnification on the refractor lenses, the ones used on Galileo Galilei's telescope, they produced a blurry fringe around the image being magnified. This was called chromatic aberration

What was the critical difference between Copernicus and gelileo?
Copernicus's work was just a mathematical exercise while Galileo said it was fact.*(NovaNet answer)*
How did Galileo galilei inspire Isaac newton?
Copernicus put forward a new theory of the planets that put the Sun at the centre, with the Earth orbiting round it just like all the other five known planets. This challenged the old Ptolemaic system and it also challenged the church's teaching, which worried Copernicus and his book 'De Revolutionibus' was not published until the year he died, 1543.Galielo took up the Copernican theory after observing the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus with his telescope, which he believed showed a fault in the Ptolemaic system. He started a dispute about the Copernican system with the catholic church authorities, and was eventually forced to recant for lack of enough proper evidence supporting it at that time.Kepler took part of the Copernican system, the part that puts the Sun at the centre, and produced a new model based on observations made by Tycho Brahe with unprecedented accuracy. The planets were now in elliptical orbits following Kepler's three laws, published in 1609. These were based entirely on observations and he had no idea why the planets followed his laws.In 1687 Newton had done a lot of theoretical work and published his famous 'Principia' in which he described the laws of motion and the newly discovered differential calculus, as well as the inverse-square law of gravity. He was able to use these to show by detailed mathematics that an object in orbit round a massive object, under the force of gravity, must follow an elliptical orbit, with the massive object at one focus, just as Kepler had found for the planets.So the main line of development goes from Copernicus to Kepler and then Newton. Galileo helped in two ways: first by making new discoveries with the telesope that raised doubts about the old Ptolemaic sysem, without actually proving the Copernican system; and also he raised awareness of the whole question by starting a dispute with the Catholic authorities, and that served to put the whole debate into the public domain in a big way.

What was discovered by Gelileo Galilei that changed the world?
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)In Physics, he created a thermometer, and discovered the laws of falling bodies and the parabolic motion of projectiles. In Astronomy, he perfected the telescope, with which he discovered sunspots, lunar mountains and valleys, the four largest satellites of Jupiter, and the phases of Venus. These discoveries supported the heliocentric nature of the solar system, and brought Galileo into conflict with the Roman Catholic Church. It convicted him of heresy and restricted his freedom for the last 8 years of his life. Read more about Galileo below :
What were the first material thermometers made out of?
the first material thermometer by Gelileo was made up of simple apparatus, which consists of a sealed beaker in which a long tube with both open ends was connected vertically over the beaker. the top of the tube is covered with a round flask with coloured ammonia filled in the setup. when there is a difference in temperature the ammonia rises and sprays like a fountain into the round flask at the top of the setup.
What year did gelileo discover space?
Galileo did not actually discover space. Space was studied by prehistorical astronomers back into the days of Egypt and Maya, and possibly further back into history.But between 1592 and 1610, Galileo devoted most of his time to studies of the universe, and in 1610 is when he first revealed publicly his belief that the Earth actually rotated around the sun (heliocentric) as opposed to the previous Earth-centered universe (geocentric).

Over which issues did science and religion clash during the first scientific revolution?
Il terzo libro di Gelileo - la Diagramma verità (d III) era sul sistema solare! Many people wrongly believe it was Galileo's hypothesis that the sun was the center of the earth, and that the Church rejected this. The conflict is used as some sort of "proof" that the Church is anti-science and antiquated. That is not true. It is a little more complicated than that. Prior to Galileo, Copernicus ( a Catholic monk) hypothesized the heliocentric theory. The Church had no problem with this, but interestingly many Protestant theologians were upset over it. Opposition was first raised against the Copernican system by Protestant theologians for Biblical reasons, and strange to say it has continued,at least sporadic-ally, to our own days. A list of many of their pamphlets is enumerated by Beckmann. On the Catholic side opposition only commenced seventy-three years later, when it was occasioned by Galileo. On March 5, 1616, the work of Copernicus was forbidden by the Congregation of the Index"until corrected", and in 1620 these corrections were indicated.... Later Galileo took up this same theory. He, obviously was right about the sun being the center, but at the time this was not known, and rejected by scientists of his day.Galileo's problems came when he insisted on moving his theory to the theological realm. At Galileo's request, Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, a Jesuit-one of the most important Catholic theologians of the day-issued a certificate that, although it forbade Galileo to hold or defend the heliocentric theory, did not prevent him from conjecturing it. When Galileo met with the new pope,Urban VIII,in 1623, he received permission from his longtime friend to write a work on heliocentric, but the new pontiff cautioned him not to advocate the new position, only to present arguments for and against it. When Galileo wrote the Dialogue on the Two World Systems, he used an argument the pope had offered, and placed it in the mouth of his character Simplicio. Galileo, perhaps inadvertently, made fun of the pope, a result that could only have disastrous consequences. Urban felt mocked and could not believe how his friend could disgrace him publicly. Galileo had mocked the very person he needed as a benefactor. He also alienated his long-time supporters, the Jesuits, with attacks on one of their astronomers. The result was the infamous trial, which is still heralded as the final separation of science and religion. So the controversy had to do with a scientific theory which had not yet been proved, but also with what was going on at the time. The Protestant Reformation had just turned Christendom upside down. Ultimately, Galileo could not yet prove his theory, it was still a theory. His insistence that the Church make a theological decree concerning it was the problem. It would be like Darwin insisting that the Catholic Church make a declaration that his theory of evolution was correct. The Church, to this day, wouldn't do that. Evolution is still a theory, however the Church has said that a belief in an evolutionary process is not at odds with a belief in God. The same would have been with Galileo, the Church allowed him, even after his arrest, to continue his research and work!
