Since roughly 1892, students have typically been unable to pick them

out of a crowd, and could accurately identify the instruments only if the

reflecting ones were clearly labeled.

When was the day Sir Isaac Newton made the reflecting telescope?

Newton did not invent the telescope. The first practical telescope was made by Hans Lippeshey and Zacharias Janssen in 1608 in the Netherlands. Galileo made significant improvements the following year. All these early refracting telescopes suffered from big problems with chromatic aberation, the separation of colours.The first reflecting telescope is credited to Niccolò Zucchi in 1616. In 1668, Isaac Newton invented a much improved reflecting telescope that still bears his name, the "Newtonian reflector." He added a smaller "diagonal" mirror near the primary mirror's focus to reflect the image at a 90° angle allowing him to look through the side of the telescope and see without blocking the incoming light.Nice answer upstairs! Newton made his first "good" reflecting telescope in 1688. It still exists -- and works!

Where was the first optical telescope built?

The Englishman, Leonard Digges (1520-1559), from Bartham in Kent, UK, invented the Theodolite in 1551...The main component of a Theodolite is a small but powerful refracting telescope, so he was almost certainly the very first person in the world to invent the refracting telescope. However, it is known that he also invented the reflecting telescope shortly afterwards. In 1608, Hans Lippershey, a German born Dutch citizen invented a refracting telescope in Middelburg, Netherlands. Galileo's model a year later was a considerable improvement upon Lippersheys design but it came almost 60 years after Digges's invented his telescope. The Gregorian reflecting telescope was invented by Scottish mathematician and astronomer James Gregory and his design was first published in 1663. Isaac Newton invented the Newtonian reflecting telescope in 1668, 117 years after Digges invented his. The design of the Cassegrain telescope was first published on April 25th 1672 and its invention is attributed to Laurent Cassegrain (1629-1693), a Catholic priest from Chartres, France. There were no real major advances in telescope designs until the Schmidt telescope was invented, by German optician Bernhard Schmidt, in 1930. The Maksutov telescope was patented in 1941 by Russian optician Dmitri Maksutov.
