In 1608 the Dutch spectacle maker Hans Lippershey discovered that two lenses, one in front of the other, could produce a magnifying effect. One year later, Galileo Galilei heard of the discovery and made what is believed to be the world's first telescope, going on to discover the moons of jupiter, craters on the moon and observe for the first time separate stars in the Milky Way.
