A telescope is an optical instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects. The first
known pratical telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 1600s, by
using glass lenses. They found use in both terrestrial applications and astronomy.
Within a few decades, the reflecting telescope was invented, which used mirrors to collect and
focus the light. In the 20th century many new types of telescopes were invented, including radio
telescopes in the 1930s and infrared telecopes in 1960s. the word telecope now refers to a wide
range of instruments capable of detecting different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and
in some cases other types of detectors.
The word telescope was invented in 1611 by the Greek mathematician Giovanni Demisiani for
one of Galileo Galilei’s instruments presented at a banquet at the Accademiadie Lincei.
