The telescope is by far one of the greatest inventions known to man. The telescope has helped man explore the night skies and has lead to many huge astronomical discoveries. With out the telescope we would have no knowledge of to heavens, and probably would have had no space exploration. The invention of the telescope has revolutionized the way man looks at the beautiful night sky. The telescope would not be here today if it wasn’t for a brilliant Italian inventor named Galileo Galilei. Galileo was a brilliant educator, discoverer, and inventor (O’Connor N/A). Galileo started his long journey of life on February 15th, 1564 in Pisa, Italy as a healthy baby (N/A). As he grew up his parents and his teachers noticed his undying love for knowledge (N/A). Galileo was particularly interested in two subjects, mathematics, and science (N/A). He had an overall normal middle class childhood, and not many problems in the family; life was good for Galileo (N/A). Galileo was in his mid-teen years when he first started to think of ways to make the world a better place to live, of course everyone in that time thought his ideas were crazy but little did they know that they would pave the way for very significant inventions in the later years
