In 1668, Isaac Newton invented the refractive telescope. His invention revolutionised telescopes because it could show sharper images of planets within our own solar system and even discover moons orbiting around other planets. “If l have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” Quote by Isaac Newton

His invention was a mere 150mm (6 inches) long. It  revolutionised telescopes because it could show sharper images of planets within our own solar system and even discover moons orbiting around other planets.
