Newton did not invent the telescope, he invented the reflecting telescope. The reflecting telescope was a major improvement over the distorting refracting telescope.

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.
