When we think of the telescope, we often credit Galileo Galilei for its invention. However, the true inventor is a lesser-known figure: Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker.In 1608, Lippershey applied for a patent for his invention, which he called the 'looker' or 'perspective glass. The telescope works by using lenses to magnify distant objects, allowing us to see them more clearly.
Galileo was the first to use the telescope for astronomical observations, making groundbreaking discoveries like the moons of Jupiter. Since then, telescopes have evolved significantly, with modern telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope providing us with stunning views of the universe. Next time you gaze at the stars through a telescope, remember the innovators who made it all possible.
