Hans Lippershey a Dutchman who made spectacles is often credited with the invention. He found that if he put two lenses at different ends of a tube and look through them, objects seemed to be nearer and clearer. Galileo Galileo came along later in 1609 with an improved version which he pointed at the heavens.
