Best Answer

One important discovery was the four large moons of Jupiter, which Galileo was the first to observe and describe. He also discovered that they orbit around Jupiter, the first example of anything that did not orbit round the Earth, which lent support to the idea that the Sun might be at the centre of the solar system. After Galileo's lifetime, with further scientific discoveries, this was discovered to be true.

When did Johannes Kepler invent the telescope?

Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope.

Galileo developed improvements on those early refracting telescope designs and Kepler developed improvements on Galileo's design.


How were telescopes invented and which important discoveries have been made through it?

We don't know exactly who invented the telescope, but some time around the beginning of the 17th century, Dutch spectacle (eyeglass) makers noticed that two lenses could be used to make distant objects appear closer and bigger. After Galileo heard about this, he made a telescope (although not the first) and started to make important discoveries. There have been thousands of discoveries since then, many showing us our place in the universe and providing information about the origin and evolution of the universe.
