Telescopes have allowed us to see further than the naked eye would ever allow. With the invention of the telescope by Hans Lipperhey, mankind has discovered new planets, constellations and threats to our planet such as comets or meteors. Telescopes have also been one of the main reasons that man has begun to explore space, we see things out there worth discovering and taking a closer look at.
