Who was the first person to make the mirror?
Sir Issac Newton
Was Galileo the first person to look in a telescope?
No, Galileo was not the first person to look through a telescope. The invention of the telescope is credited to Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker, around 1608. Galileo improved upon the design and used it to make groundbreaking astronomical discoveries.
Who was first to look through a telescope?
The first person to look at the night sky with a telescope and record what he saw and try to make deductions from his observations was Galileo Galilei. Galileo had a difficult personality and he tried to assert that he was the only person allowed to make astronomical discoveries with a telescope, but, putting that aside, he was a serious scientist who made several important discoveries in physics.
First person to make a telescope?
Various lensmakers in the very early 1600s fiddled with the idea, but it was : Hans Lippershey, Zacharius Janssen, and Jacob Metius who made a working telescope.
What is a reflector that uses more than one secondary mirror is called?
Reflector telescopes are cheaper to make than refractors of the same size than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's Often a secondary mirror is used to redirect the light into a more convenient viewing spot.
What age was Galileo when he discovered the telescope?
Galileo wasn't the first to make a telescope but he discovered the telescope at the age of 46.
How long did it take Galileo to make the first telescope?
Galileo created his first telescope in around two months in 1609. It was a refracting telescope with a convex objective lens and a concave eyepiece. This instrument revolutionized astronomy and allowed Galileo to make groundbreaking astronomical observations.
Which type of telescope did Galileo turn skyward in 1610?
Galileo turned a refracting telescope, which uses lenses to gather and focus light, skyward in 1610. This allowed him to make groundbreaking astronomical observations such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.
Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens?
No, with mirrors; but there are lenses in the ocular that do gather the light from the mirror and make an image you can see with your eyes.
Did Galileo make the teloscope?
yes, the first telescope was made by him
Did Galileo make his first telescope?
Around 1608/9
Are there any problems in using a Reflector Telescope?
Generally instead of looking along the axis of the telescope as is done with a refractor sighting the object to view is more difficult since you view the eyepiece at right angles to the main axis of the reflector. The main way to overcome this is to make a hole in the centre of the mirror as is done in the Hubble telescope and view the image from behind the mirror. This is called a Cassegrain configuration.
