When did ptolemy invent the telescope?

Ptolemy did not invent the telescope; the invention of the telescope is attributed to the early 17th century. The first recorded telescope was created in 1608 by Hans Lippershey, a Dutch spectacle maker. Ptolemy was a Greek astronomer and mathematician who lived in the 2nd century AD, long before the invention of the telescope. His work primarily involved the geocentric model of the universe rather than optical instruments.

Who made astronomical charts without telescope to such accury that are followed even today?

The astronomer who created highly accurate astronomical charts without the use of a telescope was Claudius Ptolemy, a Greek-Roman mathematician and astronomer. His seminal work, the "Almagest," compiled models of the universe and detailed star catalogs that influenced centuries of astronomical study. Ptolemy's geocentric model and star positions remained foundational until the Copernican revolution and are still referenced in modern astronomy for historical context.


What kind of telescope uses a concave mirror?

Concave means bulging inward - reflecting telescopes use this sort of mirror. The first telescope designed to use one was invented by Isaac Newton and they are therefore called "Newtonian" telescopes.
