Francesco Fontana (1580–{{circa|lk=no|1656}}) was an Italian lawyer (University of Naples[1]) and an astronomer. He created woodcuts showing the Moon and the planets as he saw them through a self-constructed telescope. In 1646 he published most of them in the book Novae coelestium terrestriumq[ue] rerum observationes, et fortasse hactenus non vulgatae. In 1645, he claimed to have observed a satellite of Venus (Paul Stroobant demonstrated in 1887 that all similar observations were not related to a putative satellite of Venus). The lunar crater Fontana and the crater Fontana on Mars are named in his honor. Note: See Donato Creti for paintings of planets from the next century. MicroscopeFontana also claimed to have invented the compound microscope (two or more lenses in a tube) in 1618, an invention that has many claimants including Cornelis Drebbel, Zacharias Jansen or his father Hans Martens, and Galileo Galilei.[2] References1. ^{{cite book |title=The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers |last=Hockey |first=Thomas |year=2009 |publisher=Springer Publishing |isbn=978-0-387-31022-0 |accessdate=August 22, 2012 |url=http://www.springerreference.com/docs/html/chapterdbid/58470.html}} {{Authority control}}2. ^[https://books.google.com.au/books?id=sHOanQkmpRcC]|A Practical treatise on the use of the microscope by John Thomas Quekett External links{{commons category-inline}}
