Everything about Niccol Zucchi totally explained
Niccolò Zucchi (
December 6 1586 -
May 21 1670) was an
Italian Jesuit astronomer and
physicist.
He invented the
concave reflecting
telescope, and on
May 17 1630 was the first person to discover two belts on the surface of
Jupiter.
Zucchius crater on the
moon is named in his honor.
In 1616, he designed one of the earliest reflecting telescopes. A professor at the
Collegio Romano, Zucchi developed an interest in astronomy from a meeting with
Johannes Kepler.
With this telescope, Zucchi discovered the belts of the planet
Jupiter (1630), and examined the spots on
Mars (1640). In 1652, he demonstrated that phosphors generate rather than store light. His book
Optica philosophia experimentalis et ratione a fundamentis constituta (1652–56) inspired
James Gregory and
Isaac Newton to build improved telescopes.
