Hans Lippershey (or Hans Lippershey, Zacharias Janssen, and others are sometimes credited — but Hans Lippershey is most commonly named for applying for the first patent.)
Name the three parts that a simple telescope consists of.
1. Objective lens
2. Eyepiece lens
3. Tube (or body that holds the lenses)
Shortly describe how a simple telescope works.
A simple telescope uses two lenses. The big lens at the front (objective lens) gathers light from faraway objects like stars or planets and bends it to form an image inside the tube. The small lens at the back (eyepiece lens) makes that image look bigger so you can see it clearly.
