    Brief History Binoculars were originally based from the telescope. Hans Lippershey‚ a spectacle maker‚ was the one who invented the telescope. Lippershey’s apprentice discovered that when holding 2 lenses in the same eye‚ with one lense distant from the other and looked through both‚ a far object seemed magnified or bigger. From there‚ Lippershey experimented with the lenses and was later known as telescope. Years later‚ Galileo Galilei developed Lippershey’s invention and was

    Although any telescope (or steadily-held binoculars) will allow the phases of Venus to be seen‚ the planet is a notoriously difficult one to observe‚ for three main reasons. Firstly‚ whenever the planet is visible (shortly before sunrise or after sunset) it is positioned at a low altitude (angle above the horizon) where it is immersed in haze and atmospheric turbulence‚ which adversely affects the quality of the image seen in the telescope. Consequently most telescopic observers prefer to view the
