OH NAH! Telescopes weren't invented back in his time
Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The Invention of the telescope is credited to three people Hans Lippershey, and Jacob Metius. The first records appear in 1608, more than 60 years before Kepler was born. The Kepler telescope was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies and launched by NASA in 2009. This telescope was not invented by Johannes Kepler but was merely named in his honor.
No. Johannes Kepler lived long before we had space travel. The Kepler telescope orbits the sun and was not designed to go to other planets.
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Johannes Kepler.
Heinrich Kepler was the father of famous German astronomer Johannes Kepler
galileo's favorite food was girls on a stick
Johannes Kepler made the keplerian telescope, which consists of two covex objective lens.
Neither Johannes Kepler nor the Kepler Space Telescope discovered Pluto. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, long after Johannes Kepler died and long before the Kepler telescope was created. The Kepler telescope was built to discover planets in other solar systems, not our own.

No, Johannes Kepler is best known for describing the laws that dictate how orbits work. The Kepler planets were discovered by the Kepler telescope, a spacecraft named in his honor.

No, Tycho Brahe did, but Kepler just improved it and made it popular
It is named after the German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630).
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.
A telescope is used to magnify things that are far away.That said, I'm not sure who told you that Johannes Kepler invented the telescope. He didn't invent the telescope itself, but he did come up with a new design. Kepler's design uses a convex lens at the eyepiece rather than a concave one. This has several advantages, but a couple of disadvantages, such as the image appearing upside down. This makes it largely useless for terrestrial work, but it's suitable for astronomy, which is what Kepler was interested in anyway.

He made the Keplerian telescope. He also discovered the three laws of planetary.
