Who was the first person to discover Jupiter?
The invention of the telescope is credited to Hans Lippershey. Crude telescopes and spyglasses may have been created much earlier by Dutch opticians, but Lippershey is believed to be the first to apply for a patent for his design. His telescope was made up of one convex lens and one concave lens.Galileo Galilei perfected it by using two convex lenses. He constructed his first telescope in 1609. This telescope is called the Galilean telescope or the refracting telescope.Isaac Newton invented a telescope which used two mirrors. He constructed his first telescope in 1669. His version of the telescope was called the Newtonian telescope or the reflecting telescope.

What was wrong with the Hubble Space Telescope?
The problem with Hubble Space Telescope (the HST, or just the "Hubble") was that the primary reflector, that is, the mirror which redirects the incoming light to focus it, was ground using an incorrectly calibrated reference as a guide. This left it "out of focus" in areas farther from the center. There were a couple of checks for accuracy made with secondary references, and they were off, but the "warning" was ignored and the opinion was offered that the two secondary references were not as accurate as the primary reference was. More information can be had by reading the Wikipedia post on the Hubble. A link to that post can be found below.
