galileo telescopes for astronomy
Who was the first to use the telescope for scientific purposes? Galileo? Harriot?
My astronomy professor said it was a bad idea Galileo was the first to use telescopes for scientific research. He said that Galileo did not even invent. And on the other hand, mostly just made and Galileo sell telescopes. I'm not sure about Thomas Harriot, but he and Galileo were the only two options left for the previous exam question. All searches Google and Wikipedia articles actually do not specify the answer to this question Anyone know? Thanks!
Harriot is the first person known to have sketched the moon from a telescopic view, a few months before Galileo. It is also well known that Galileo did not invent the telescope.
