Galileo perfected the telescope.
Venus is easily visible to the naked eye. People were looking at it for millennia before the telescope was invented. Galileo was the first person to look at Venus through a telescope.
The first person to examine space through a telescope was Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century. He made significant astronomical discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, which supported the heliocentric model of the solar system.
The first telescope is commonly attributed to Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker, who is believed to have applied for a patent for a refracting telescope in 1608. Galileo Galilei made significant improvements to the design shortly after, leading to his astronomical discoveries.
