The document discusses the history and development of the telescope from its invention in 1608 to modern space telescopes. Some key developments include Galileo being the first to observe Jupiter's moons and Saturn's rings using early telescopes in the early 1600s. Larger ground-based telescopes were later built that enabled observations of nebulae and other astronomical objects. Space telescopes were launched beginning in the late 1960s, allowing observations unobstructed by the Earth's atmosphere.

Then look up one more unique fact about the telescope that isn’t in the audio, and share it here.
UNIQUE FACT ABOUT
THE TELESCOPE In 1917, the Hooker Observatory was installed in the United States, which helped to discover new galaxies and to establish the theory of the expansion of the Universe.
In 1968 the first space telescope, In 1948, the Hale Observatory
called the Orbiting Astronomical was also installed in the United Observatory 2 (OAO-2), was States, where quasars were launched, floating 750 km above discovered and the expansion of the Earth's surface. His mission, the universe was measured. In 1982 it was the first telescope to however, only lasted a little over 5 locate Comet 1P/Halley. years.
En 1990 el transbordador espacial Discovery colocó al
Telescopio espacial Hubble a 600 km de la superficie. Este es el telescopio espacial más largo y versátil, y su capacidad para tomar fotos increíblemente nítidas del espacio le dieron su fama.
