Explanation:
1)Hans Lippershey
2)Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath, from Pisa. Galileo has been called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", and the "father of modern science".
3) In his first observations, Galileo saw that the Moon was not a smooth sphere, but was mountainous. This contradicted the church's view that the heavens were pristine and unchangeable, unlike the corrupt, mutable Earth.
Answer:
1.Many people believe that Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to invent and build the telescope; however, the first telescope was made by Hans Lippershey in the early 1600s. Lipperhey was a German-Dutch glass maker, and he managed to reduce the amount of light in his telescope while focusing it.
