      The history of telescope dates back to the beginning of 17th century in Netherlands. The invention of the telescope explains the following reasons of existence:
      • It was designed for the observation of remote objects through the electromagnetic radiations.
      • Xray and Gama rays telescopes can go through the glasses and metals.
      • They are used to look at the stars and planets by the astrologers.

        A telescope is a device that is used to make far away objects appear nearer. It is believed that the telescope was invented with the same object in mind. It derives its name from the Greek. The word "tele" is Greek for "far" and the word "skopein" means "to see or to look". Thus even the name defines the very purpose of the telescope.

        The invention of the telescope is credited to a Dutch inventor called Hans Lippershey. Even though Hans was not the first person to have thought of a telescope and built one but he was the first to realize its potential. This was in the year 1608; he even marketed the device to the government seeing its military potential. Galileo developed the concept further and introduced the telescope to the field of Astronomy.

        The telescope was actually made to spy on warships(during war). The actual creator was Hans Lippershey who was a lens maker and he used it for it. Also the first name of the telescope was spyglass.
