Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The Invention of the telescope is credited to three people Hans Lippershey, and Jacob Metius. The first records appear in 1608, more than 60 years before Kepler was born. The Kepler telescope was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies and launched by NASA in 2009. This telescope was not invented by Johannes Kepler but was merely named in his honor.
Aristotle did not invent the telescope; he lived roughly 2000 years before the telescope was invented.
Galileo Galilei did not invent the first telescope; it was invented by Dutch eyeglass maker Hans Lippershey in 1608. Galileo, however, heard about this invention and created his own improved version in 1609, which he used to make groundbreaking astronomical observations.
Galileo (1564-1642) is often credited with the invention of the telescope, when in fact he only improved upon it. The earliest telescopes were built in 1608 by three separate Dutch spectacle makers: Hans Lippershey (who patented one), Zacharias Janssen, and Jacob Metius. The following year, 1609, Galileo heard of the use of lenses in this manner, and built telescopes of his own, which quickly brought him great prestige in Venice. In 1610 his telescopes allowed him to observe the known planets and discover the first moons around Jupiter.
1977
The dates are in dispute. The year of the single-lens optical microscope is usually given as 1590 (remarkable, in that Zacharias Jannsen's birth year is sometime between 1580 and 1588), and the year of the telescope as 1608.
Aristotle did not invent the telescope; he lived roughly 2000 years before the telescope was invented.
He improved on the existing telescope around 1609
ca 1450
Hans Lippershey invented the telescope in the year 1608. GALILEO DID NOT INVENT THE TELESCOPE!!!!!!!! :)
He Built the first relfecting telescope in 1672!!
Gutenberg invented the movable- type printing press in 1440.
Galileo made his telescope in 1609, based on descriptions of instruments made in the Netherlands a year earlier. Despite what a depressingly large number of people would have you believe, he did not invent the telescope (though his was arguably an improvement upon the earlier ones).
Galileo didnt invent the telescope. He improved on the idea of a telescope. The first telescope was made by a Dutch lensmaker named Hans Lippershey, and the chineese used crystal ball lenses to see far distances back in the 400B.C.s. However, Galileo did improve on the telescope in 1611, but only enough to see into the heavens (as the original telescope was alot more of a powerful spyglass)
No. Jacob Metius submitted the first patent for a telescope in October 1608 but was not granted one. Galileo became famous in the next year for designing higher powered telescopes. He also discovered the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.
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.
According to Kepler's Universe theory, the universe was born in 4977 BC.
