who discover the teliscope?

Answer 1

The telescope wasn't discovered....it was invented

The first practical refracting telescopes appeared in the Netherlands about 1608, and were credited to three individuals, Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, spectacle-makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar also known as Jacob Adriaanszoon.

Galileo, happening to be in Venice in about the month of May 1609, heard of the invention and constructed a much improved version of his own based on his understanding of the effects of refraction. Galileo may thus claim to have invented the refracting telescope independently, but not until he had heard that others had done so.

The credit for inventing (redesigning /developing) the refractive telescope for astronomical studywas given to galileo galilee.

The Keplerian Telescope, invented by Johannes Kepler in 1611, is an improvement on Galileo's design. It uses a convex lens as the eyepiece instead of Galileo's concave one. This allows for a much wider field of view and greater eye relief but the image for the viewer is inverted.

in 1704 Newton redesigned and invented the reflective telescope

The Achromatic refracting lens was invented in 1733 by an English barrister named Chester Moore Hall


Additional information
------------------------------------------------

The telescope was introduced to astronomy in 1609 by the great Italian scientist Galileo Galilei, 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 magnification--up to 30 times.

In 1704, Sir Issac Newton announced a new concept in telescope design whereby instead of glass lenses, a curved mirror was used to gather in light and reflect it back to a point of focus.

The Achromatic refracting lens was invented in 1733 by an English barrister named Chester Moore Hall although it was independently invented and patented by John Dollond. The design limits the effects of chromatic and spherical aberration by using an objective made of two pieces of glass (with different dispersion), "crown" and "flint glass".

Answer 2

The first telescopes may have been Assyrian crystal lenses, but the Visby lenses tentatively suggest that the technology was known to the Arabs and Persians. Leonard Digges is sometimes credited with the invention in England in the 1570s, but usually credit for assembling the first telescope is given to an unknown Dutch spectacle maker in about 1608. Some name that person as Hans Lippershey (c. 1570 – c. 1619), but Jacob Metius and Zacharias Jansen also claimed to have invented a telescope during the same period. Even if Lippershey did not make the first one, he publicized it. Galileo Galilei made his own telescope in 1609, calling it at first a "perspicillum," and then using the terms "telescopium" in Latin and "telescopio" in Italian (from which the English word derives). Galileo is generally credited with being the first to use a telescope for astronomical purposes. (Also the telescope was first used to spot ships.) Galileo's telescope consisted of a convex object lens and a concave eye lens, which is universally called a Galilean telescope (used as a viewfinder in many simple cameras). Later, Johannes Kepler described the optics of lenses (see his books Astronomiae Pars Optica and Dioptrice), including a new kind of astronomical telescope with two convex lenses (a principle often called the Kepler telescope). Optical interferometer arrays and arrays of radio telescopes were developed much more recently.

Answer 3

Galileo Galilei

Answer 4

Hans Lippershey Galileo Galilei made his own in 1609

Answer 5

Hans Lippershey Galileo Galilei made his own in 1609

Answer 6

I cant say bout the mythical or historical telescopes but the technique for the telescopes used today was surely developed by Galileo.

Answer 7

Definetly galileo.

Answer 8

the first reflecting telescope was discovered by galileo but he did not invent todays telescope that is the refracting telescope.

Answer 9

I don't know. maybe Galileo

Answer 10

i think so galileo...
