Hans Lippershey, also known as Jan or Hans Lippersheim, was born around 1570 (exact date unknown) in Wesel, western Germany. After settling in the Netherlands, he became a maker of spectacles. Lippershey is credited with creating the design for the first practical telescope, after experimenting with different sized lenses. Lippershey is thought to be the first to apply for a patent for his design of an early telescope in 1608, as his patent application is the earliest record of an actually existing telescope. He demonstrated his invention before the Dutch Parliament on 2 October 1608, calling it a "kijker", meaning "looker" in Dutch. The patent was ultimately denied because it was believed that the details of his invention could not be kept secret. However, Lippershey went on to make several binocular telescopes for the States General.
The astronomer Galileo Galilei created a working design of the telescope in 1609 after receiving a description of Lippershey's invention.
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.
The very first were probably designed by Galileo Galilei during the time he was working on lens's - telescopes . However the first recorded binocular telescope was invented by Jan lippershey a Dutchman. The first small hand held binoculars were the invention of Johann Zohns
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.
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.
Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope.
No, but Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope in 1690.
Hans Lipperhey, a German spectacle maker, is the original inventor for the telescope.
They say Hans lipperhey invented the telecope but they say they don't now who actually invented it
The first telescope was invented by Hans Lipperhey , a Dutch lens grinder, in 1609 when he combined two lenses.
Once he had some lenses and got the idea, he could probably have done it in an hour.
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.
While it is commonly believed that Galileo first invented the telescope, it was first invented by Hans Lipperhey, a German "spectacle" maker, circa: 1595.
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.
Never, Dutchman Hans Lippershey did. Galileo improved it to make it magnify 30 times instead of just 3.
El telescopio fue inventado por Hans Lippershey en 1608 en los Países Bajos. Aunque también hubo otros inventores simultáneamente que desarrollaron telescopios, se atribuye a Lippershey la creación del primer modelo.
No. He never married.
