The telescope was introduced to astronomy in 1609 by the great Italian scientistGalileo Galilee, who became the first man to see the craters of the moon, and who went on to discover sunspots, the four large moons of Jupiter, and the rings of Saturn. Galileo's telescope was similar to a pair of Opera glasses in that it used an arrangement of glass lenses to magnify objects. This arrangement provided limited magnifications to 30 times for Galileo and a narrow field of view; Galileo could see no more than a quarter of the moon's face without repositioning his telescope.
