While it is true that Isaac Newton made a first reflecting telescope, I would disagree that Hubble is a Newtonian telescope. Isaac used a spherical mirror and a plane mirror in his design, while RC telescope utilises two hyperbolic mirrors. RC telescope was invented by George Ritchey and Henri Chretien and it is a different design altogether. Why not credit Egyptians for making the first mirrors?
