Ancient Instrument for Surveying

 WHAT
IS
TELESCOPE?
Telescope
A telescope is a device that magnifies views of
faraway things. The telescope is without a doubt the
essential research tool in astronomy. It allows for
collecting and analyzing radiation from celestial
objects, even those in the furthest reaches of the
cosmos.
It allows for the collection and analysis of radiation
from celestial objects, even those in the remote
reaches of the cosmos. You supplied a device that
captures light from and amplifies photos of faraway
objects, unquestionably the most essential
investigation tool in astronomy.
WHEN WAS IT
INVENTED
The creation of the
telescope
The creation of the telescope was important in
increasing our understanding of Earth's location in the
universe. While the fundamentals of telescopes were
known as early as the late 16th century, the first
telescopes were built in the Netherlands in 1608.
Telescopes were separately produced by spectacle
manufacturers Hans Lippershey & Zacharias Janssen
and Jacob Metius. The telescope sprang from a legacy of
craftsmanship and technological innovation centered
on spectacles and advances in optics research that can
be traced back to Roger Bacon and a group of Islamic
scientists.
Galileo and
Telescope
Early telescopes were primarily employed for
terrestrial observations like surveying and military
tactics. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was a member of a
tiny group of astronomers who used telescopes to look
up at the stars. Galileo built his own telescope after
hearing about the "Danish perspective glass" in 1609.
He later displayed the telescope in Venice. His
telescopic presentation won him a lifelong lectureship.
 Galileo and
Telescope
After his initial success, Galileo focused on refining the
instrument. The initial telescope he created (and the
Dutch ones it was based on) magnified objects three
diameters. That is, it made things look three times
larger than they did with the naked eye. Through
refining the design of the telescope he developed an
instrument that could magnify eight times, and
eventually thirty times. after all the success prove
Galileo began drawing his impressions of the skies
shortly after his initial telescopic observations. He was
eager to share his discoveries. His observations and
interpretations of stars, the moon, Jupiter, the sun, and
Venus's phases were crucial in improving our
understanding of the universe.
