ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Jean Alfonse

Jean Alfonse was a very smart man who lived a long time ago. He liked to study things and make new discoveries. He was especially interested in the stars and planets that we see in the sky at night.

Jean Alfonse discovered something really important called telescopes. Telescopes are special tools that help us see things that are far away, like stars and planets. Before telescopes, it was very hard to see these things because they were too far away and too small.

Because of Jean Alfonse's discovery, many other people started using telescopes too. They were able to learn a lot more about the stars and the planets in our solar system. This helped people understand more about space and how everything in the universe is connected.

Jean Alfonse is like a superhero who helped us see things we couldn't see before. Thanks to him, we know a lot more about space and the world around us!
