When did Johannes Kepler invent the telescope?
Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The first telescopes were developed in the Netherlands and are credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar. Galileo developed improvements on those early refracting telescope designs and Kepler developed improvements on Galileo's design.
How Important do you think three gyroscopes are to the hubble space telescope?
They are extremely important because they give us a view of the universe that is betterthan the telescopes on the ground.
List three discoveries made by the voyager space probe?
the discoveries of the probes include new information about the motions of Jupiter's atmosphere and the discovery of three new moons. Voyager probes also discovered that Jupiter has faint dust rings around it and that one of its moons has volcanoes on it.
Name three people that proved that earth was round not flat?
I'm almost sure that Galileo, Magellan and Christopher Columbus did it.
What was Galileo's wife's name?
"he did not really have a wife but a girlfriend named marina gamba and had three kids with her." He actually did have a wife, but I can't find her name anywhere. (yes, he had his 3 children by Maria Gamba illegitimately)

Name three things Galileo invented?
telescope pump hydrostatic balance
What were Galileo's three moon discoveries?
4 actually, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto
What age did Galileo discover the telescope?
Galileo made his first telescope in 1609, modeled after telescopes produced in other parts of Europe that could magnify objects three times. He created a telescope later that same year that could magnify objects twenty times. With this telescope, he was able to look at the moon,
What did Newton discover in his lifetime?
Sir Isaac Newton discovered Earth's gravitational pull and made many other discoveries, which later led to him creating the three laws of motion. Many years ago, Galileo invented the telescope to observe Jupiter and it's four moons. Fifty years after that, Newton used a new and improved telescope to observe other objects in space.
Who is the first inventor of telescopes in 1609?
Wikipedia credits the initial development of the telescope to three men from the Netherlands: Hans Lippershey, Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius in 1608. It's possible that earlier models existed, but we don't know who might have done it. We do know that it wasn't Galileo, and it wasn't 1609, which was when Galileo received his telescope. Galileo did substantially improve the design of telescopes, and he was (to the best of our knowledge) the first person to point a telescope to the skies.
What are three of the most important people in astronomy?
aristotle, copernicus, galileo
What are three primary contributions to Astronomy?
Galileo's desktop telescope, Edwin Hubble's Galaxy Tracker, and Radio Telescopes -as in The Very Large Telescopic Array - the VLTA.
Are any of Galileo galilei's inventions to any use today?
the thermometer. Actually, Galileo made a thermoscope. You should Google image "Galilean thermometer". It's really different from our regular mercury thermometer. It's a lot cooler. the telescope. Well, Galileo merely improved it but he did so, so that the telescope was capable of observing planets and stars in outer space. He made the 1st telescope strong enough to do that. the pendulum. Galileo discovered that ischronism was what made the pendulum a useful timekeeper. Ischronism is the period of which the pendulum swings. the compass. He also improved that too. I don't know much about what he did with the compass but I do know the other three. All I know about the compass is that Galileo improved it. I hope I helped. Oh, and the reason I know all of this is because I have to do a project on him. I'm also an A+ student so yeah, trust me on this. =] ~K 2+2= fish
Did albert einstein invent the telescope?
No, they hadn't been invented in his day ... it was all mathematics.
What year did Galileo invent the telescope?
Galileo (1564-1642) is often credited with the invention of the telescope, when in fact he only improved upon it. The earliest telescopes were built in 1608 by three separate Dutch spectacle makers: Hans Lippershey (who patented one), Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius. The following year, 1609, Galileo heard of the use of lenses in this manner, and built telescopes of his own, which quickly brought him great prestige in Venice. In 1610 his telescopes allowed him to observe the known planets and discover the first moons around Jupiter.
Who were the childrin of Galileo?
Galileo was never married but he had three children.
