History Of the Telescope

Others claimed at the time that he stole the design from Many historians recognize Lippershey as the inventor of the first telescope, as he was the first to apply for a patent. It also appears that both Lippershey and Metius developed their designs independently, while Jansen is credited with inventing the compound microscope. Both men received a reward, and Lippershey was awarded a significant commission to make copies of his telescope. His telescopes would later be supplied to the high society around Europe, including Henry IV of France. It was Hans' telescope that would later catch the eye of 2. Galileo used his telescope to peer into the cosmos 1609. He immediately set about designing and building his own telescope, although he had never seen Han's device. Nonemade significant improvements on his telescope's performanceis telescope, reaching magnifications of around 20 times. Pleased with his creation, he subsequently presented it to the As impressive as this was, he went further, as history attests. His observations also led him to discover the rings of Saturn, sunspots, and four of 1642. 3. The Keplerian telescope was devised in 1611 1611 and while the design greatly improved the device's magnification, it also rendered the observed image upside down. Apart from his significant Astronomia Pars Optica would earn him the title of the 'Founder of Modern Optics'. This book contained his observations and rationalization about many aspects of optics, including the use of p...

This Month in Astronomical History: The Invention of the Telescope

The inventor of the refracting telescope is unknown, but the accomplishment is often attributed to the man who first filed a patent for it: Hans Lippershey (or Lipperhey), a 16th century Dutch eyeglass maker and inventor from Middelburg. Incidentally, the stories of his inspiration for building the instrument vary and tend to discredit his originality. In one scenario, two children were playing with optical lenses in his shop and he overheard them remark that a distant weather vane appeared closer when they looked through a pair of different lenses. In others, he took credit for the work of his assistant, or stole the idea from a third party altogether. Regardless of how events transpired, Lippershey filed for a 30-year patent from the States General of the Netherlands on 2 October 1608, creating the first written record for an instrument “for seeing things far away as if they were near.” As an alternative to the patent, he suggested a generous pension to compensate him for income he might otherwise have from selling his invention to foreign kings. Only weeks later, a lens maker from Alkmaar in North Holland, Jacob Metius, applied for a patent on a similar design. Zacharias Jansen, another eyeglass maker from Middelburg and purported inventor of the compound microscope, is also claimed to have invented the telescope. Ultimately, Lippershey and Metius were both turned down for the patent because the instrument was deemed too easy to reproduce, and therefore could not be kep...

Hans Lippershey

Hans Lippershey - Inventor of First Refracting Telescope The first reported case of anyone building telescope came from 1608, from within diplomatic report between embassy of Holland and Kingdom of Siam. In that report it was described how watch-maker and master lens-grinder Hans Lippershey has managed to combine specially crafted lenses to create first working model of telescope. Hans Lippershey was born in 1570 in Wesel, Germany. At the age of 24 he settled in Middelburg (province Zeeland), Netherlands, where he was married. There he opened his shop, creating spectacles and crafting lenses of various sizes. It is not exactly known from where he got an idea for building his first telescope. Some reports claim that he heard of similar devices that were made by other people, while some believe that he simply came to idea to it when he saw children playing with his lenses. In any case, in 1608 he managed to create first crude telescope that had either two convex lenses (that produced inverted image) or a convex objective and concave eyepiece lens (that would produce upright image). This design was brought to the States General of the Netherlands so that it could be patented, but there Lippershey encountered problems. Even though the managed to be quicker than one another lens maker (Jacob Metius), Dutch government recognized that several other people have managed to create devices of very similar design that other spectacle makers wanted to take credit for. Lippershey was no...

Hans Lippershey: Telescope at Microscope Inventor

Sino ang unang tao na lumikha ng isang teleskopyo? Ito ay isa sa mga pinaka-kailangang-kailangan na kasangkapan sa astronomiya, kaya tila tulad ng taong unang dumating sa ideya ay mahusay na kilala at nakasulat sa kasaysayan. Sa kasamaang palad, walang isa ay sigurado kung sino ang una sa disenyo at bumuo ng isa. Ang pinaka-malamang na "pinaghihinalaan" ay isang German na optiko na nagngangalang Hans Lippershey. Kilalanin ang Tao sa Likod ng Ideya ng Teleskopyo Si Hans Lippershey ay isinilang noong 1570 sa Wesel, Alemanya, ngunit ang kaunti pa ay kilala tungkol sa kanyang unang buhay. Siya ay lumipat sa Middleburg (na ngayon ay isang Olandes na bayan) at nag-asawa noong 1594. Pinuntahan niya ang kalakalan ng optiko, sa kalaunan ay nagiging isang master lens grinder. Sa pamamagitan ng lahat ng mga account, siya ay isang tinkerer na sinubukan ang iba't ibang mga paraan ng paglikha ng mga lente para sa baso at iba pang gamit. Noong huling mga 1500s, nagsimula siyang mag-eksperimento sa pag-upo ng mga lente upang palakihin ang pagtingin sa malalayong bagay. Mula sa makasaysayang rekord, lumilitaw na si Lippershey ang unang gumamit ng isang pares ng mga lente sa ganitong paraan. Gayunpaman, maaaring hindi siya ang una sa aktwal na eksperimento sa pagsasama ng mga lente upang lumikha ng mga krudo na Ang pinakamaagang instrumento nito ay ang dalawang lenses na gaganapin sa lugar upang ang isang tagamasid ay maaaring tumingin sa pamamagitan ng mga ito sa malalayong bagay.

7 Scientists Who Never Got the Credit They Deserved

If you think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell or that Darwin came up with the theory of evolution, think again. 1. Alfred Russel Wallace – The Theory of Evolution The theory of evolution by natural selection has been attributed time and time again to Darwin – so much so that the theory is even named “Darwinism” in his honor. But the truth is, many scientists had been developing the idea of evolution even before Darwin was born. 2. Rosalind Franklin – The Structure of DNA Watson and Crick went down in history as the co-discoverers of DNA’s helical structure, but few know about the “little burglary” that led to their infamy. Back in the fifties, In his book The Double Helix, Watson admits freely that his dislike for Franklin was based purely on her sex. Expressing his distaste for her lack of make-up and unfeminine wardrobe, he writes “Clearly Rosy had to go or be put in her place… the best home for a feminist was in another person’s lab.” And if you think that comment was out of line, you haven’t heard Watson’s opinions on the intelligence of Africans. In 1962, Wilkins, Watson, and Crick were awarded the 3. Lise Meitner – Nuclear Fission Without Meitner collaborated for more than 30 years with chemist Otto Hahn, whose experiments made nuclear fission a reality. But it was Meitner, not Hahn, who figured out how nuclear fission works. Unfortunately, as a Jew in the early 20th century, Meitner didn’t want her name on the paper. Later, when their work was up ...
