What did Hans Lippershey discovered about lenses?
In 1608, Lippershey laid claim to a device that could magnify objects three times. His telescope had a concave eyepiece aligned with a convex objective lens. One story goes that he got the idea for his design after observing two children in his shop holding up two lenses that made a distant weather vane appear close.
What is a patent and why do you think one was not granted to Lippershey?
Lippershey called his invention a “kijker”, meaning “looker” in Dutch and in 1608, applied for a patent with the Belgian government. Even though he was paid very well for his invention, a patent was not granted because it was felt that the simple device could not be kept a secret.

Who invent binoculars?
Credit for the first real binocular telescope goes to J. P. Lemiere who devised one in 1825. The modern prism binocular began with Ignazio Porro’s 1854 Italian patent for a prism erecting system.
Did Galileo invent telescope?
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was part of a small group of astronomers who turned telescopes towards the heavens. After hearing about the “Danish perspective glass” in 1609, Galileo constructed his own telescope. The initial telescope he created (and the Dutch ones it was based on) magnified objects three diameters.

What did Galileo not see?
Did you know? Galileo became completely blind by the age of 74, but NOT because he looked at the Sun through his telescope. He always projected an image of the Sun onto a surface. Remember, like Galileo, you should NEVER look directly at the Sun!
