How Did The Telescope Contribute To The Scientific Revolution

During the Scientific Revolution many great discoveries were made such as J. Kepler’s and Galileo’s findings on plant placement(1609), Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of motion(1680), and the Telescope(1609), but which of these discoveries lead to greater finding of the Scientific Revolution. With the telescope J. Kepler and Galileo could continue their research on plant placement . In fact I can prove that the telescope was one of the greatest discoveries/inventions of the Scientific Revolution because of the discoveries its lead to today, people of the time used it for their research, and it showed people of the world more about the universe.

The first reason the telescope is the one of the invention/discoveries of the Scientific Revolution is its lead to many advances in science today. Most of the the things we know about space today is thanks to the telescope. With telescopes we can see things far off in other galaxies such as Supernovas and other planets that could possibly sustain life. Using the Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the first Earth-sized planet orbiting a star in the
Back in the time of Galileo and J.Kepler the telescope helped them see that they couldn’t see with the naked eye for example Galileo determined that the Earth’s moon reflected light rather than being a source of light using the telescope. Galileo and J.Kepler also came to the conclusion that the that the sun was the was the center of the universe. This may not be true of the universe but it’s a great discovery of the time with the technology they had. Now telescopes being more advanced can tell us thing about the universe for example find a earth-sized planets that could possibly be habitable. The telescope had had a hand in most of the discoveries in our universe it's helped used us understand the
