Isaac newton invented it, as he understood from his study of optics that a large lens, or mirro, gathered more light than a small one, and the objective lens of the best telescopes of the time rarely exceeded about 30mm (inch and a quarter). The principal worked, allowing him to see many more celestial bodies than the telescopes of the time, though usually with a smaller image, overall.
