Inventor
Most people think that Galileo invented the telescope, but it was actually Hans Lippershey in 1608. Later Galileo had made it better and improved.
Invention
When the telescope was invented it was very small. It had lens, and eyepiece on a long tube. It could see half of the moon. At first it was gonna be 8x but soon changed too 20x so you could see much more things in space.
How it has changed
The original telescope could see the moon and the craters. Now they can see the weather in the Solar System. They shown new Planets and Asteroids. The telescope is much bigger then it used to be then. We now know more about gravity and other things because of the telescope.
