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.

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)
