Galileo invented the TELESCOPE NOT THE microscope! The invention occured in l609.This paralelled the discovery of Manhattan by Henry Hudson. He was certainly a mature man at the time(Galileo) By the way the Italian optical firm Officina Galileo which was established in the mid-late l9th century was named in his honor, somebody asked if anything was done posthujously to honor Galileo. The name literally translated means Galileo Office, some wouldsay, colloquially Galileo workshop.
actually, Galileo did not invent the telescope, he just made it better, and the version he made, is still used today.
yup he just made it more complex

Who helped solidify scientific method and improved the telescope?
By most people, Galileo Galilei, though this incorrect. The telescope was invented in the Netherlands by Hans Lippershey, Zacharias Janssen, and/or Jacob Metius ... it's not entirely clear exactly who came up with the idea first.
Was Galileo part of the Renaissance?
Galileo was important because he stated that the sun was center and all other planets moved around it. Galileo supported the theory of heliocentrism, which was antithetical to the doctrines of the Catholic Church, which maintained that the sun revolved around the earth. Galileo played a crucial role in the Renaissance because he helped to break the tyrannical grip that the church held over common people.
Who is the Italian scientist that invented the telescope?
Galileo's Optic Tube News of the telescope's invention spread rapidly through Europe. By April 1609, three-powered spyglasses could be bought in spectacle-makers' shops on the Pont Neuf in Paris, and four months later there were several in Italy. They were made famous by an Italian professor and experimenter named Galileo Galilei in the summer of 1609 at the University of Padua near Venice. While Galileo did not invent the telescope, he did design and build telescopes with increasingly higher magnifying power for his own use and to present to his patrons. He was a skilled instrument maker, and his telescopes were known for their high quality. Galileo's first telescope was basically a tube containing two lenses. His first attempt was a three-power instrument; this was followed by one that magnified objects approximately nine times. He showed the latter device to the Venetian senate, hoping to impress them with its commercial and military potential. Observations with Galileo's telescope strengthened the new idea that the Earth and the planets circled the Sun. It also revealed multitudes of stars in the Milky Way and elsewhere. One seemed to see not a fixed sphere of stars, but a universe of stars extending outward to some vast and unknown distance, perhaps to infinity.Galileo's telescopes Like the earlier Dutch versions, Galileo's refracting telescopes ("refractors") used lenses to bend, or refract, light. They featured a concave eyepiece lens and a convex objective lens. The telescope was fairly simple to make. Galileo, however, faced difficulties finding clear and homogenous glass for his lenses. The glass was full of little bubbles and had a greenish tinge (caused by the presence of iron impurities). This was a problem that troubled telescope makers for centuries. It was also hard to shape the lenses perfectly. The images of stars were blurry, and surrounded by color haloes. The limiting factor of these early refractors was their small field of view. Only part of the full Moon, for example, could be seen at one time. Galileo himself continued to improve his devices until they were over four feet long and could magnify up to thirty times.
Is it better to have a telescope with a high resolving power or a high magnification explain why?
haha
Are there any places named after Galileo?
Galilean moons of Jupiter, Galilean telescope, Galileo's pendulum, Galilean experimental method, Galileo spacecraft, and even Galileo High School in San Francisco! What do all these different words have in common? Yes, you are absolutely right, they were named after a famous scientist, an inquisitive person, and an outstanding mathematician, physicist, and astronomer who lived over three hundred years ago.
Did Galileo have fun building the first high powered telescope?
It was hell of a night ;)
What is the difference between a High Power telescope and a Reflecting telescope?
A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
When was Galileo Magnet High School created?
Galileo Magnet High School was created in 2002.

What junior high did OJ attend?
Galileo high school in San Fransisco
The intrument that scientists use observe planet?
The instrument scientists use to observe the planets is a high powered telescope.
Are there mountains on the moon?
Yes, there are lots of mountains on the moon, as proved by Italian professor of Mathematics, Galileo. The proved this by making the first 20x zoom telescope and noticing mounting-looking hills, later realizing they were in fact mountains, measuring about 2.5 miles high. To compare, Mount Everest is 3 miles high.
How high is an telescope?
Depends on how high you want it really well kind of yeah !
