What are two central ideas of this passage?

• In the 1600s, astronomers improved telescopes by adjusting lens shape and placement and using mirrors.

• Johannes Kepler had an idea that would create a sharper image and give a larger view of the sky.

• Astronomers in Europe used different types of telescopes to study the stars and planets.

• Hans Lippershey, a Dutch glasses maker, created the first simple telescope.

• News about early telescopes and astronomers’ discoveries in the 1600s motivated scientists to learn more and make better telescopes.

The author calls Newton’s telescope “revolutionary.” Select a detail from paragraph 5 that best supports this claim.

• But scientists had known for a long time that curved mirrors can also collect light.”

• “In 1672 the English scientist Isaac Newton built a new kind of telescope that collected light with a curved mirror made of copper and tin instead of a big glass lens.”

• “Because Newton’s reflecting telescope used mirrors to ‘fold up’ the light path, it didn’t need such a long tube.”

• “Good curved metal mirrors were much more difficult to make than lenses.”
