When did Gallilio improve the telescope?
Galileo improved the telescope in 1609, by making it more powerful and using it to observe celestial bodies such as the Moon, stars, and planets. His discoveries helped revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy.
