Galileo is the first recorded instance of the use of a telescope, though it is well known that he developed the idea for it from a toy that arrived from a traveling merchant.

The earliest evidence of telescopes were refracting telescopes from the Netherlands in 1608. Their development is credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar.
Hans Lippershey invented the telescope, sometime before 1608 A.D. (which is the earliest record of him applying for a patent). Jacob Metius applied for a similar patent only a few weeks later.
Galileo greatly improved upon these designs the following year, using improved optics. He did not invent the telescope, but he was both the first person to use it and also improve the telescope. It was the astronomical observations recorded by Galileo in 1610 (including the discovery that Jupiter has moons of its own) that is most closely associated with the first use of the telescope.

An optical telescope cannot be used during cloudy days. Of course, this assumes that the telescope is located somewhere on the Earth's surface and therefore subject to weather. Since clouds obscure the sky - and any heavenly object otherwise visible - the optical telescope will be unable to see anything. A radio telescope, however, can see through clouds, simply because clouds do not block or cause significant interference to radiowaves reaching the Earth's surface from space.
A radio telescope is a reflecting telescope, and uses a mirror rather than a lens.
Since radio waves are so much longer than light waves, the 'mirror' of a radio
telescope is the 'dish' reflector that focuses radio waves onto its antenna,
located at the prime focus of the dish.
The Yerkes Telescope is the worlds largest telescope that's founded by the University of Chicago.
Name THE planet?
-- Mercury is visible as a speck near the sun at sunrise and sunset sometimes.
-- Venus is the third brightest natural object in the sky when it's visible.
-- Earth is very easy to find,both day and night. :P
-- Mars looks just like a star but if you look at stars at all you'll easily be able to tell it apart because of it's red color.
-- Jupiter is also very bright and with basic binoculars you can see its four biggest moons.
-- Saturn is the farthest naked-eye (no telescope) planet visible but is still brighter than most stars.
So the only planets you do need a telescope to see are Neptune and Uranus... and to get more than a blue spec out of either it takes quite a telescope.
If you have any two magnets, you can always make them attract each other
or repel each other. It just depends on how you arrange them.
Every magnet has two ends, with exactly opposite characteristics. If you hang
a magnet up from a thread and wait until it settles down, one end points north
and the other end points south.
If you stick labels on the ends to identify them as the ' N ' end and the ' S ' end,
then the ' N ' ends or the ' S ' ends of any two magnets always repel, but one
' N ' end and one ' S ' end of two different magnets always attract.
Good question, but from what I have read/seen no, the hubble only takes pictures of distant celestial phenomena.
Why can't it take pictures of the sun?

You can see Saturn with a telescope now; in the northern hemisphere, Saturn rises about midnight and is high in the sky by midnight.
Uranus, which was discovered by Sir William Herschel
Prior to the invention of the telescope, the only known planets were Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Uranus was the first planet discovered by telescope.

A reflecting telescope only needs one mirror, the primary mirror which will focus incoming light to a single point.
A digital telescope might place the digital recording media directly in front of the reflecting telescope without any additional mirrors (although perhaps some lenses).
For practical purposes though, most optical telescope will have a secondary mirror that will either focus light straight back through a hole in the primary telescope mirror, or to the side of the telescope.
Some telescopes, especially the large ones in observatories will have several mirrors directing the light path to the observer or recording equipment.
There are at least two reasons why identical radio telescopes may be built. A mundane reason would to save money by reusing the same design. But the reason why most identical systems are built (not to say that saving money by reusing the design isn't still a factor in these cases) is to construct a "very long baseline interferometer", a type of multiple telescope system that uses properties of electromagnetic radiation (wave interference) to simulate telescopes with much larger apertures. This method attains the angular resolution of the larger telescope, but not the signal sensitivity.
Reflectors - the main two types being Newtonian and Cassegrainian.
A Galilean Telescope is also an Astronomical Telescope so it is just a subset of Astronomical Telescopes.
Radios are electronic devices which grab signals and turn them into sound. They are composed of electrical circuits and of the various electrical and electronic components that are needed to make those circuits which in turn make the radio itself work.
One end of a reflecting telescope is the big hole pointed at the star. The other end of the reflecting telescope has a lens called an eyepiece.
Two triangular prisms are used in the design of a periscope to reflect the incoming light rays at 90 degree angles. They are first reflected down periscope, then again towards the eye.
Jupiter and eventually 4 moons whose position relative to Jupiter changed from night to night.
