Many people credit Galileo for inventor of the telescope. However it was a Dutchmen named Hans Lippershey who invented it in1608. He used the telescope as a spying glass and not to observe the night sky with it. Galileo often gets credit for inventing the telescope in 1609, which was 20x more powerful than Lippersheys, because he used it to observe the night sky.
Galilio
Thanks. My first guess would have been Buster Keaton, but I looked it up, and it was Hans Lippershey.
There were many inventions of telescopes before the first binoculars telescope was invented by J. P. Lemiere in 1825. It is an older version of what one living today would call a binocular.

The first telescopes actually came from China. Galileo of Italy perfected a telescope in the 1600's.
yes he was the first inventor
According to historians, nobody knows the first inventor.
Telescopes are instruments used by astronomers. The first person to do this was Galileo.
Around 1608.
Alexander Stepanovich Popov was the inventor of the first portable radio
The first binocular telescope, consisting of two telescopes placed side by side, was. constructed in 1608 by Johann Lipperhey, the inventor of the ordinary Dutch telescope. hope this helps i saw it on another question quiet similar 2 this one .
Wikipedia credits the initial development of the telescope to three men from the Netherlands: Hans Lippershey, Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius in 1608. It's possible that earlier models existed, but we don't know who might have done it. We do know that it wasn't Galileo, and it wasn't 1609, which was when Galileo received his telescope. Galileo did substantially improve the design of telescopes, and he was (to the best of our knowledge) the first person to point a telescope to the skies.
