The first reflecting telescope built by Sir Isaac Newton in 1668[3] is a landmark in the history of telescopes, being the first known successful reflecting telescope.[4][5] It was the prototype for a design that later came to be called the Newtonian telescope. There were some early prototypes and also modern replicas of this design.
