The Dominion Architect responsible for the building was Edgar Lewis Horwood Proposed and designed by John S. Plaskett in 1910 with the support of the International Union for Cooperation in Solar Research, when the 72-inch aperture telescope was constructed, it was planned to be the largest telescope in the world but delays meant it saw first light after the Hooker 100-inch telescope.

Later she described the experience as follows: " I saw my kundalini rising very fast like a telescope opening out and it was a beautiful color that you see when the iron is heated up, a red rose color, but extremely cooling and soothing.

The 1966-72 Orbiting Astronomical Observatory missions demonstrated the important role space-based observations could play in astronomy, and 1968 saw the development by NASA of firm plans for a space-based reflecting telescope with a mirror 3 m in diameter, known provisionally as the Large Orbiting Telescope or Large Space Telescope ( LST ), with a launch slated for 1979.

The telescope saw its first light in 1998.

The ESO 3. 6m telescope has made several scientific discoveries since it saw first light.

In 1759 a Franciscan monk mentioned, but not identified by name, by Viera y Clavijo wrote to a friend: " I was most desirous to see the island of San Borondon and, finding myself in Alexero, La Palma, on 3 May at six of the morning, I saw, and can swear to it on oath, that while having in plain view at the same time the island of El Hierro, I saw another island of the same colour and appearance, and I made out through a telescope, much wooded terrain in its central area.

An early pioneer of radio astronomy was Grote Reber, an amateur astronomer who constructed the first purpose built radio telescope in the late 1930s to follow up on the discovery of radio wavelength emissions from space by Karl Jansky.

More advanced methods of locating objects in the sky include telescope mounts with setting circles, which assist with pointing telescopes to positions in the sky that are known to contain objects of interest, and GOTO telescopes, which are fully automated telescopes that are capable of locating objects on demand ( having first been calibrated ).

* 1609 – Galileo Galilei demonstrates his first telescope to Venetian lawmakers.

The French mathematician and astronomer Jean-Baptiste Morin observed Arcturus in the daytime with a telescope ( a first for any star other than the sun ) in 1635, and has been seen at or just before sunset with the naked eye.

As of February 2012, NASA's Kepler mission had identified 2, 321 unconfirmed planetary candidates associated with 1, 790 host stars, based on the first sixteen months of data from the space-based telescope.

The first two shots of Seen Through the Telescope ( 1900 ), with the telescope POV simulated by the circular mask.

On March 19, he sent the telescope he had used to first view Jupiter ’ s moons to the Grand Duke, along with an official copy of Sidereus Nuncius ( The Starry Messenger ) that, following the secretary's advice, named the four moons the Medician Stars.

* 1888 – The refracting telescope at the Lick Observatory, measuring 91 cm in diameter, is used for the first time.

* 1949 – The Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory sees first light under the direction of Edwin Hubble, becoming the largest aperture optical telescope ( until BTA-6 is built in 1976 ).

Kitt Peak is famous for hosting the first telescope ( an old 91 cm reflector ) used to search for near-Earth asteroids, and calculating the probability of an impact with planet Earth.

The first person to use a telescope to observe the night sky and record his observations was the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei in 1609.

" Influenced by Galileo's work, the Sicilian astronomer Giovanni Hodierna became possibly the first astronomer to use a telescope to find previously undiscovered open clusters.

When Isaac Newton built the first reflecting telescope in 1668 he skipped using a parabolic mirror because of the difficulty of fabrication, opting for a spherical mirror.
