Sir Isaac newton didn't make the first telescope. He did however invent the first functionally effective reflecting telescope using a concave primary mirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror. He built the telescope to improve his theories about light. This telescope bore advantages over the refracting telescope in that there was no longer color distortions developed by the lenses known as chromatic abberation.
