telescope

     

A telescope is an instrument esigned for the observation of remote objects and the collection of electromagnetic radiation. The first known practically functioning telescope is credited to the German-Dutch lensmaker Hans Lippershey in 1608. The name "Telescope" (from the Greek tele = 'far' and skopein = 'to look or see'; teleskopos = 'far-seeing') was a name given to Galileo Galilei's instrument for viewing distant objects. The name was invented by an unidentified Greek poet/theologian, present at a banquet held in 1611 by Prince Federico Cesi to make Galileo Galilei a member of the Accademia dei Lincei. "Telescope" can refer to a whole range of instruments operating in most regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Trivia about telescope

  • In 1608 its inventor offered it exclusively to the Dutch government for military use
  • The Comet of 1680 was the first to be discovered using one of these
  • A type of this was named for Johannes Kepler
  • Around 1668 Isaac Newton built the first reflecting one of these
  • In 1611 Johannes Kepler introduced a second convex lens, giving this instrument greater power
  • Newton, Cassegrain, Schmidt & Maksutov all have types of this instrument named for them
  • 4 observatories spanning 4 continents have joined forces to create a radio one of these to look into space
  • Hans Lippershey, who invented this instrument in 1608, called it a "looker"
  • In 1668 Newton placed a mirror in one of these devices to create a much better image
  • 1st credited to Hans Lippershey in 1608, it was Galileo, in 1609, who first used it to look up
  • Alvan Clark made a 36" one of these for the Lick & a 40" one for the Yerkes
  • Newton designed one of these that used mirrors in addition to lenses
  • In July 2007 one of these instruments with a 34-foot mirror was completed on the Canary Islands
