The Telescope is Invented- 1608

Galileo built Different Telescopes- 1609

Glass is Invented- 3,500 BC

Galileo was not the inventor of the telescope, but he did build his own versions of it. He even dared to publish his work, and for that, he was almost burned at the stake.

It is believed that glass was invented around the Bronze Age, invented by the Egyptians.

Magnification was Written About- 1220-1292

Johannus Hevelius has a Realization about the Telescope- 1673

The Telescope is Named- 1611

The First Reflecting Telescope is Made- 1668

Stonehenge- 3,000 BC

Pentre Ifan is Built- 3,500 BC

Johannus Hevelius realized if you make a telescope longer, different kinds of light can come in, which makes sharper images.

In his lifetime (1220-1292,) Roger Bacon wrote about magnification, and he used it to study and observe the sky. By doing this, he was labeled as a magician, and later imprisoned.

In 1611, the telescope gets its official name from Prince Fredrick Sesi.

Stonehedge is located in Salisbury, England. It is believed that Stonehenge was used as a burial ground, but scholars still aren't sure. Stonehenge has roughly 100 massive stones upright, placed in a circle.

The Triple Design was Designed- 1893

Newton was the one who made the first Reflecting Telescope. He used a two inch concave spherical mirror, a flat angled secondary mirror, and a convex eyepiece lense.

H. Dennis Taylor designed and patented the Triple Design, which was British Patent no. 1991.

The Pentre Ifan is a Dolmen structure, which is a burial place made out of large stones. These stones are often placed on top of each other to form small arch/fort-like structures.

Archeologists and archeoastronomers will look at the orientations of the structures to see if they are alligned towards the sunrise and the sunset, or the rising of the moon or a certain star on any special day.

Instruments were Built- 1546-1601

Between 1546 and 1601, Tycho Brahe had huge instruments built so he could study the sky.

Henry Percy and Harriot were Imprisoned- 1605

The WEBB- 2012

The Idea of using Two Paraboloical Mirrors- 1636

Newgrange Tomb was Built- 3,200 BC

Harriot became a leading role in Mathematics after being imprisoned with Henry Percy because of their beliefs and studies.

This telescope is going to be launched by Nasa later in this decade.It is said that this is to be one of Nasa's greatest discoveries.

This tomb was built around 3,200 BC in County Meath, Ireland, but wasn't discovered until 1699.

The entrance to the tomb opens up to a 62 foot long passageway, leading to a chamber 20 feet high.

The Cross Staff was Invented- 1288- 1334

Marin Mersenne hits upon the idea of using two paraboloical mirrors instead of lenses for the inside of a telescope. He never built the telescope for his idea though. Descartes persuaded him to believe that his idea won't work.

The Discovery of Mars Two Moons- 1873

Levi ben Gerson invented the Cross Staff somewhere in his lifetime (1288-1334.) The Cross Staff could determine the angle between the Moon and a star by sliding the bow so the objects were alligned.

In 1873, the two moons of Mars were discovered by The Naval Observatory twenty six inch Refractor.
