The Italian who first used a telescope to study astronomy was Galileo Galilei, born in 1564, the same year as William Shakespeare. Galileo is renowned for his significant contributions to observational astronomy, including the discovery of the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus. His work laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy, challenging the geocentric model of the universe.

Galileo did not invent the telescope. The Italian physicist and mathematician improved on an existing spyglass design to create a more powerful one: a refracting telescope that he then used to study the night sky.
The first telescope was invented by Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker, in 1608. However, it's worth noting that Galileo Galilei was the first to use a telescope for astronomy observations.
Galileo created his first telescope in around two months in 1609. It was a refracting telescope with a convex objective lens and a concave eyepiece. This instrument revolutionized astronomy and allowed Galileo to make groundbreaking astronomical observations.
Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to make extensive use of the telescope for astronomy. He made several important discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, using his telescope in the early 17th century.

While not the inventor of the telescope, Galileo is widely believed to be the first person to use a telescope for astronomy.

My dear friends its the telescope! That was the first instrument (tool) to use to study space and astronomy. For your information.. ( FYI) Galileo was the first man to invent and use the telescope. By the way I'm in the 5th grade but we learn a lot of good astronomy stuff in class. I'm pretty smart
