The first telescopes may have been Assyrian crystal lenses. Article
Though the Visby lenses tentatively suggest that the technology was known to the Arabs and then to the Vikings in the 10th century, credit for assembling the first telescope is usually given to an unknown Dutch spectacle maker in about 1608. Some name that person as Hans Lippershey (c1570-c1619). 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. 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 Kepler telescope). Optical interferometer arrays and arrays of radio telescopes were developed much more recently.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
