Galileo !
Galileo did not invent the telescope. The Italian physicist and mathematician improved on an existing spyglass design to create a more powerful one: a refracting telescope that he then used to study the night sky.
Galileo used his telescope to look into space where he noticed that Nicalous Copernicus was correct in saying that the Earth revolves around the sun. Which Galileo was arrested for believing.
The telescope was introduced to astronomy in 1609 by the great Italian scientistGalileo Galilee, who became the first man to see the craters of the moon, and who went on to discover sunspots, the four large moons of Jupiter, and the rings of Saturn. Galileo's telescope was similar to a pair of opera glasses in that it used an arrangement of glass lenses to magnify objects. This arrangement provided limited magnifications to 30 times for Galileo and a narrow field of view; Galileo could see no more than a quarter of the moon's face without repositioning his telescope.
Astronomy was first discovered in the times of ancient Greece

While not the inventor of the telescope, Galileo is widely believed to be the first person to use a telescope for astronomy.
Galileo Galilei.
Galileo.
Galileo Galilei first used the "new" telescope in 1609
My dear friends its the telescope! That was the first instrument (tool) to use to study space and astronomy. For your information.. ( FYI) Galileo was the first man to invent and use the telescope. By the way I'm in the 5th grade but we learn a lot of good astronomy stuff in class. I'm pretty smart
It was the Italian Galileo.
Hundreds of them. Who was first? Probably Galileo. We have no record of anyone point his new telescope at the skies before him. Probably SOMEBODY did; the telescope had been invented 5 years or so before Galileo got his first one, but nobody wrote about it.
None of them. The first telescopes were developed in 1608 by three Dutch opticians. You may have been thinking of Galileo, who built his telescope based on their descriptions, and who may have been the first person to use a telescope to observe the stars. His observations of Jupiter the following year did revolutionize astronomy.
Galileo Galilei didn't actually invent the telescope but he made vast improvements to the first design.
Astronomy did not necessarily start at a particular time, if you look it up you will notice that man has been looking at the stars throughout its existence, however Galileo was the first to turn a telescope up toward the sky.
