Notes on Hans Lippershey's unsuccessful telescope patent in 1608. The first record of a telescope comes from the Netherlands in 1608. It is in a patent filed by Middelburg spectacle-maker Hans Lippershey with the States General of the Netherlands on 2 October 1608 for his instrument "for seeing things far away as if they were nearby." [12] A few weeks later another Dutch instrument-maker ...
A claim will be made 37 years later by another Dutch spectacle-maker that his father, Zacharias Janssen, invented the telescope. [17] A replica of Galileo's telescope. 1609 — Galileo Galilei makes his own improved version of Lippershey's telescope, calling it a "perspicillum".
The first camera that was small and portable enough to be practical for photography (that is, actually capturing the image on some sort of medium) was envisioned by Zahn in 1685 [citation needed], though it would be almost 150 years before technology caught up to the point where this was possible to actually build (see History of the camera).
Tracking errors in guiding the telescope during the long exposure made the photograph came out as an indistinct fuzzy spot; 1840 – John William Draper takes make a successful photographic image of the Moon, the first astronomical photograph
Hans Lipperhey [a] (c. 1570 – buried 29 September 1619), also known as Johann Lippershey or simply Lippershey, [b] was a German-Dutch spectacle-maker.He is commonly associated with the invention of the telescope, because he was the first one who tried to obtain a patent for it. [1]
Zacharias Janssen; also Zacharias Jansen or Sacharias Jansen; 1585 – pre-1632 [1]) was a Dutch spectacle-maker who lived most of his life in Middelburg.He is associated with the invention of the first optical telescope and/or the first truly compound microscope, but these claims (made 20 years after his death) may be fabrications put forward by his son.
The reflecting telescope, which uses mirrors to collect and focus light, was invented within a few decades of the first refracting telescope. In the 20th century, many new types of telescopes were invented, including radio telescopes in the 1930s and infrared telescopes in the 1960s.
