Did Galileo invent the telescope?

No, it is told that Leonard Digges did, but Galileo did invent one of the first telescopes, but his had the best and he was the first one to have his telescope with the best magnification.


What was the first telescope?

The first telescope didn't look exactly like the ones that we see today, but it was improved though by the famous astronomer Galileo. The first one is said to have been made about 500 years ago.


Was Mendeleev's periodic table read horizontally or vertically?

His original 1869 table had the atomic weights increasing down columns, and family members alongside each other in horizontal rows. His revised and greatly improved 1871 version had atomic weights increasing across rows, and element families in vertical columns, essentially similar to the way a modern Periodic Table is presented.


Did Einstein create the first telescope?

No. The first telescopes were made by Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen in 1608. Galileo improved their design and made the first astronomical telescope by 1609. In 1611 Kepler improved the telescope further and in 1616 Zucchi designed the first reflecting telescope. The first radio telescope was made by Reber in 1937. So, as you can see the first telescope was made several hundred years before Einstein.


How do astronomers use active optics to improve telescope resolution?

In past years, the light collecting power of telescope has been improved by building telescopes with of larger diameters with larger collecting areas, thus allowing for the detection of fainter and more distant objects

What is interferometry?

Astronomers improved radio images by connecting telescopes. If two radio telescopes are separated by distance but are connected electronically, their signals can be combined using a computer. The resulting images are as good as if one telescope were used that was as big as the distance between the two. This method is called interferometry.


How can radio telescopes be improved?

Why big telescopes?

Large telescopes have improved resolution over small telescopes and as such can gather clearer images of objects further away.


The resolution of radio telescopes has been improved by what spectrographs charge-coupled devices photometers or interferometers?

interferometers because charge-coupled devices are only used in optical telescopes

When was the telescope first used for obsevrving the skies?
