Isaac newton did not invent the telescope. The telescope was actually invented by Hans Lippershey in 1608. Newton's contributions to science were in the fields of physics, mathematics, and astronomy, particularly with his laws of motion and the development of calculus.
Newton did not actually invent anything besides his three laws of motion.
Isaac Newton did not invent the telescope, but he did improve upon it by designing the Newtonian telescope in the 17th century. This telescope uses a concave mirror to reflect and focus light, allowing for a clearer and sharper image. Newton's design helped to overcome some of the limitations of previous telescope models.
Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton is credited with designing the first practical reflecting telescope in the 17th century, known as the Newtonian telescope. By using a curved mirror to reflect and focus light, Newton's design offered advantages over traditional refracting telescopes of the time.
