Sir Isaac Newton accomplished many things. We have learned quite a lot from what he has discovered, and most of it’s used in today’s education systems. Most of us have become familiar with his three laws of motion and have applied them to daily life. Aside from that, one of his most important accomplishments also includes inventing the Reflecting Telescope. Galileo Galilei was one of the first people to invent a telescope, but this one was invented in 1668. The main purpose of the Reflecting Telescope is to be able to see the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because of this invention, we have discovered how light reflects in different aspects of life in depth. In U.S. history, two main types of telescopes have been discovered. …show more content…
It is said that the very first telescope was made because of interest in a weather vane. In other words, the earliest scientists were curious about what directions was the wind coming from, and could they somehow see it from afar. Specifically, Galileo Galilei was in the mindset that the sun was the center of the universe; that all the planets revolved around the Sun. So, he set out to invent something that would let us see into space. Although he isn’t the initial inventor of the telescope, we can say that he helped evolve our curiosity on whether he was right about his theory. A couple years later, Sir Isaac Newton continued the work of the newest …show more content…
The more we heighten our curiosity, the more we want to discover for ourselves or for our society. The reflective telescope has evolved over the years, and we still use it to this day to thoroughly experience the impact it has on today’s society. Not only have reflective telescopes impacted us, but just telescopes in general as well. Now, we are able to see more than what we couldn’t have been able to see back in the late 1600’s when it was first invented. Over the years, science is taken for granted and has developed a lot of pros for society. Now we can use this telescope in a more comfortable working space than back then. Our thought processes have accelerated to what we can do more for science itself. It’s because of these inventions that we can think about what more can be done to improve what has already been invented for it to be people friendly. If it weren’t for Sir Isaac Newton, or Galileo Galilei, we wouldn’t have even thought about making something that would change the rest of our
