The first telescopes were made in 1608by Dutch optician Hans Lippershey. Italian astronomer Galileo built his own soon after and use it to discover Jupiter's moon. The earliest type of telescope, known as a refracting telescope, produced a slight distortion of images. Since about 1670, astronomers have preferred to use reflecting telescopes, which use mirrors that compensate for the distortion.
