Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The Invention of the telescope is credited to three people Hans Lippershey, and Jacob Metius. The first records appear in 1608, more than 60 years before Kepler was born. The Kepler telescope was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies and launched by NASA in 2009. This telescope was not invented by Johannes Kepler but was merely named in his honor.

What year did Galileo Galilei invent the first telescope?
Galileo Galilei didn't actually invent the telescope. A Dutchman, Hans Leppershey, invented 'a device used to hold two lenses apart that focused on refracting light through the lenses to make objects look closer' in 1608. He applied for a patent on it but it was declined because other scientists claimed to have made similar items. Galileo heard of this and decided to build his own, calling it a 'looking glass' that was based on Leppershey's work.

Galileo didnt invent the telescope. He improved on the idea of a telescope. The first telescope was made by a Dutch lensmaker named Hans Lippershey, and the chineese used crystal ball lenses to see far distances back in the 400B.C.s. However, Galileo did improve on the telescope in 1611, but only enough to see into the heavens (as the original telescope was alot more of a powerful spyglass)
