Venus is easily visible to the naked eye. People were looking at it for millennia before the telescope was invented. Galileo was the first person to look at Venus through a telescope.

Who was the first astronaut to see mars with a telescope?

The first astronaut to see Mars through a telescope was most likely one of the Apollo astronauts who orbited the moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These astronauts had training in celestial navigation and would have had access to telescopes for observation during their missions. However, I could not find specific information on which astronaut was the very first to view Mars through a telescope while in space.

What are revolving round venus through telescope they look like moons or asteroids?

We don't know either. We see the planet with two dark stripes across it but we also see two stars?? on each side. It looks as though you could draw a straight line through the two stars, Venus and the two stars on the other side. I Have easily found that Venus doesn't have any moons but I can't find what these objects are.


Who first used a telescope to study astronomy?

Galileo was the first to use the telescope for astronomical observation. Galileo based his telescopes on ones he saw Dutch sailers on trading ships using. So you have to go back to the Netherlands to find earlier telescope makers/users. It is likely the Dutch may have adapted the idea from someone else before them.


What year was Venus first discovered?

Since Venus can be seen with the naked eye, no one really knows who discovered Venus. Venus' beautiful color made it easy for ancient astronomers to find it in the night sky long before the invention of the telescope.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Venus is quite bright, so it was easily observed even in very primitive times. Some ancient cultures did not recognized it as a planet, but thought in terms of a "morning star" and an "evening star." The Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa, dated 1581 BC, shows that the Babylonians made detailed observations of Venus and understood that it was a single entity.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It depends on what you mean by discover. Because Venus is so bright, the first caveman who went outside at dusk or dawn surely noticed it. The ancient Greeks knew enough about it to know that it was different from other ''stars''. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were also known to the ancients. This probably includes among many others the Chinese, Babylonian, and early American cultures which were relatively sophisticated. Galileo in 1610 was first to observe that Venus had a visible disk and that it had phases like the moon so perhaps he could be considered to have discovered the modern Venus. Captain James Cook made observations of a ''Transit of Venus'' in 1776-1779.

What helped provide evidence that the planets orbit around the sun rather than the earth?

We sometimes see gibbous (nearly but not quite full) Venus. In the Ptolemaic system, we should never see more than a crescent in Venus. Because we do in fact see more, the Ptolemaic model must be wrong. The full range of phases that we see for Venus is consistent only with the idea that Venus orbits the Sun. Galileo was the first to observe the phases of Venus - and hence to find this evidence in support of the Sun-centered system - because he was the first to observe Venus through a telescope. Without a telescope, we cannot tell that Venus goes through phases.

How did Issac Newtons first reflecting telescope change the world?

He was the first person who invented Reflecting telescope , so now a days other scientists use those telescope to find out other planets and they are trying to look for a planet which is suitable for human being to live in because the earth is overcrowded now. If they can find out another planet which is suitable for humans to live in they will send half of the pupil from the earth to that planet so that we can stop over population.

How can you find a planet?

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are easily visible in the sky without a telescope or binoculars, if you know when and where to look. That information is often included on the weather page of the local newspaper.
