Telescopes Hans Lippershey (1570 - September 1619) was a Dutch lens maker. Lippershey is believed to be the first to apply for a patent for his design‚ a few weeks before Jacob Metius (a Dutch instrument maker and optician)‚ and making it available for general use in 1608. The telescope invented by Lippershey was composed of a convex and a concave lens‚ as this construction did not invert the image and had only a magnification of just 3x. Galileo’s telescope improved the original Dutch telescopes

On my visit to the Adler Planetarium I saw many exhibit galleries‚ ate at the Galileo’s Café‚ and saw the Night Sky Live show.
