Galileo Galilei put together his telescope in 24 hours in Padua after while he had about a Hans, a Dutch spectacle-maker, having invented a 3x spyglass which made objects seem near while on holiday in Venice. Galileo worked on things that had been said about this spyglass (which had been kept secret) and instinct. A few days later he produced an improved 8x version. He presented it in Venice it in early 1609, just months after Lipperchey's invention. Galileo's invention was named telescope by Giovanni Demisiani a Greek poet/theologian at a banquet of the Accademia dei Lincei in Aril 1609 form the Greek tele (far) and skopein (to see). Galileo continued to perfect his telescope until he produced a 33x model.
