Even though other scientists like Galileo had the idea for a reflecting telescope, Sir Isaac newton is credited with perfecting the reflector telescope in 1668.
Issac Newton invented the reflecting telescope in 1672

Isaac Newton invented the reflecting telescope.
Newton did not invent the telescope, he invented the reflecting telescope. The reflecting telescope was a major improvement over the distorting refracting telescope.

The reflecting telescope
The type of telescope is called a reflector. There are multiple subtypes of reflectors like a dobsonian, newtonian, RC, etc. Check out my youtube video on how to work with pictures taken from a telescope. youtu.be/M7-vLeVhM9g
The first recorded attempt was by Niccolò Zucchi (1616). The first successful reflecting telescope was made by James Gregory (1663).

It is a reflecting telescope
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.
A Reflecting telescope has a lot of zooming technologies and the High Power telescope is highly powered.
reflecting telescope gathers light from mirror
A reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope because a reflecting telescope uses a concave lens, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. While a refracting telescope uses two lens.
Those are, in fact, identical down to the finest detail.
