What planet was first discovered by telescope?
Uranus, which was discovered by Sir William HerschelPrior to the invention of the telescope, the only known planets were Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.Uranus was the first planet discovered by telescope.
How many Earth days make up one day on Uranus?
A full day on Uranus is 17 hours, 14 minutes and 24 seconds ( to be exact.). In other words, a day on Uranus is shorter than a full day on Earth.
Did Aristotle use a telescope to see in the universe?
No. Aristotle died roughly 1,800 years before the first telescope was ever built.
What does Neptune was the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by empirical observation mean?
Previous planets had been discovered by just happening to see them in the sky. the last of those was the planet Uranus, first identified in 1781. By looking at the orbit of Uranus, astronomers noticed irregularities in it. Because of this they suspected that something was causing a gravitational pull on it. This led them to believe that there might be another planet beyond Uranus that was doing this. So they set about trying to calculate where it was and then to look for it. They had to identify how much of an irregularity there was in the orbit of Uranus, and what size of an object would cause it and how far it would be from Uranus at different times. To make the calculations as to where to find it took many years, before it was finally observed in 1846.
What the first telescope?
The first telescope didn't look exactly like the ones that we see today, but it was improved though by the famous astronomer Galileo. The first one is said to have been made about 500 years ago.

In what year was each planet in your solar system discovered?
Mercury and Venus were known to ancient civilizations, so no specific discovery year. Earth does not apply. Mars was first discovered in prehistoric times. Jupiter (1610), Saturn (1610), Uranus (1781), Neptune (1846), and Pluto (1930) were discovered more recently.
2009 is being celebrated as the international year of astronomy in honor of something that happened 400 years back What?
The invention of the telescope, by Dutch inventors. No, Galileo didn't invent the telescope. He wasn't even the first person to look at the Moon through one. But he was the first person we know of who pointed a telescope at Jupiter, and understood what it meant.

Who created the first Telescope?
The first Telescope is believed to have been invented by a Dutch eyeglass and the maker is called Hans Lippershey (1570-1619) in the years 1608.
What kind of telescope Ptolemy use?
Ptolemy never saw a telescope. The first telescopes were invented about 1500 years after Ptolemy died.

What scientists have made discoveries about planet uranus?
It was William Herschel he discovered it in 1781 when he was using a telescope he built himself when he spotted a dim object he watched it for years and determined it was a planet.
Which planet's year is equal to 84 earth years?
