Phoenicians cooking on sand discovered glass around 3500 BC, but it took about 5,000 years more for glass to be shaped into a lens for the first telescope. A spectacle maker probably assembled the first telescope. Hans Lippershey (1570-1619) of Holland is often credited with the invention, but he almost certainly was not the first to make one. Lippershey was, however, the first to make the new device widely known.
The first telescope was invented by Hans Lipperhey , a Dutch lens grinder, in 1609 when he combined two lenses.
The telescope was invented by Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker, around the early 17th century. Although the exact origin of the telescope is debated, Lippershey is often credited with its invention.
Although Galileo's telescope was the first to be used for astronomical purposes, he didn't invent the telescope. A man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. Many people claimed to have invented the telescope however Hans Lipperhey was the only one to apply for a patent.
Aristotle did not invent the telescope; he lived roughly 2000 years before the telescope was invented.
Isaac Newton did not invent the telescope. The telescope was actually invented by Hans Lippershey in 1608. Newton's contributions to science were in the fields of physics, mathematics, and astronomy, particularly with his laws of motion and the development of calculus.
No, but Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope in 1690.

They say Hans lipperhey invented the telecope but they say they don't now who actually invented it
While it is commonly believed that Galileo first invented the telescope, it was first invented by Hans Lipperhey, a German "spectacle" maker, circa: 1595.
Once he had some lenses and got the idea, he could probably have done it in an hour.
First in 1608 by Hans Lippershey (1570 -- September 1619), also known as Johann Lippershey or Lipperhey. Wiki - History of the telescope can give you a lot of detail.
Hans Lippershey invented the telescope in the year 1608. GALILEO DID NOT INVENT THE TELESCOPE!!!!!!!! :)
Never, Dutchman Hans Lippershey did. Galileo improved it to make it magnify 30 times instead of just 3.
