   The first telescope used to observe space was most likely in 1608.

   Here’s a breakdown of the key points:

   While the concept of telescopes existed earlier, the first documented creation of a telescope is credited to Hans Lippershey, a Dutch spectacle-maker, in 1608.

   Lippershey applied for a patent for his invention, described as an instrument for seeing faraway things as if nearby.

   Shortly after, other inventors like Galileo Galilei developed their own versions of telescopes.

   It’s important to note that Galileo is often credited with using a telescope for astronomical observations, but he wasn’t the first. However, his observations made in 1610, like the phases of Venus, were groundbreaking and helped support the heliocentric model of the solar system.
