The telescope.
Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer, built large calibrated instruments called quadrants and armillary spheres to measure the positions of celestial objects before the invention of the telescope. He used these tools to create comprehensive catalogs of stars and planetary positions.
The development of the telescope in the 17th century greatly improved our ability to observe distant celestial objects in space. This invention allowed astronomers to study the Moon, planets, stars, and galaxies with much greater clarity and detail than ever before, leading to many significant discoveries in the field of astronomy.
Aristotle did not invent the telescope; he lived roughly 2000 years before the telescope was invented.
