Word origin
The word 'telescope' originated from the Greek words 'tele', meaning 'far', and 'skopein', meaning 'to look or see'. The invention of the telescope is often credited to Dutch eyeglass maker Hans Lippershey in the early 17th century. Telescopes have revolutionized our understanding of the universe by allowing us to observe celestial objects and phenomena that are beyond the reach of the naked eye.
