The Reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century. The Italian professor Niccolò Zucchi is credited with making the first reflector in 1616, and the design was perfected by the English physicist Sir Isac Newton in 1668, with the addition of a small "diagonal" secondary mirror near the primary mirror's focus to reflect the image 90° to allow the user to view the image without obstructing the incoming light.
