In the early 1600's Galileo was the first to use a telescope ( his own home-made model) to look at the heavens. Beginning in 1609, he became the first to see the mountains on the moon, the satellites of Jupiter ( four of them, at least) and Jupiter's big red spot. The spot is thought to be a giant hurricane, so it has been a storm that has lasted for a bare minimum of four hundred years.
