Q. Who invented Telescopes?
Answer: Galileo
Notes: The telescope was invented by an unknown person, but the first patent for the telescope is in the name of Hans Lippershey. However, Galileo (1564-1642) through the invention of a practical telescope brought new evidence to support the Copernican theory (the heliocentric theory- according to this theory the heavenly bodies do not revolve about the earth as believed during that period but around the sun).
