I am attempting to help my friend with his homework. Not giving him the answers, but trying to help. If someone can give me the answers, I can better help him out (he doesn’t have the text book with him at the moment).

In the play, Galileo, Galileo and the Venetians were very interested in the telescope. What are Galileo’s interests in the telescope? And what are the Venetians’ interests in the telescope?

I am aware that Galileo did not invent the telescope, but what improvements did he make to it?
Also who/what/when was the telescope invented?

I’m not doing a science paper on this or anything, just have to write how I would feel if I were the lens in Galileo’s telescope (I know, pointless). I just need some basic things. Don’t have to go all into it.
