About Telescopes




If you want to see the planets and the distant stars than you will need a telescope. Telescopes tell us a lot about what is way out there in space since we can channel in on the stars and just by the light that they reflect we can learn so much from them. There are lots of neat things you can view with a telescope, get a close up of the moons craters, view the rings around Saturn, get a close up of our solar systems gas giant Jupiter, view nearby comets and much more. Open your eyes up to the night sky and see whats really out there. Think about it, when you look into a telescope, depending on how powerful the lens is, you are looking thousands or possibly billions of years in the past. The light you are seeing from stars could be that old depending on how many light years they are away from earth. Every year our technology is advancing, and the scientists are getting smarter, and richer, and they have the money and technology to make modified telescopes that keep getting better.

Probably the first idea of the telescope was thought up Lippershey, who was a dutch spectacle maker. On day outside of Lippersheys shop a couple of kids were playing around with some lenses, and they put two of them together, seeing that when they looked through the image was greatly enhanced. Then Lippershey tried it, he had mounted the two lenses together into what he had called “a looker”.  He tried to sell off his invention to the military, but lots of others had claimed that it ahd already been invented, although no current records show any proof of this. The invention had quickly spread, and it eventually reached the Italian Scientists by the name of Galileo, who modified Lipersheys “looker” into a telescope.  Galileos telescope that he had invented was of the refractive type
