11 Predictions from Leonardo Da Vinci That Actually Came True

Telescope

While people typically think of Galileo before da Vinci when it comes to astronomy, the latter may actually have predicted the eventual creation of a telescope a century earlier.

Within the Codex Leicester, da Vinci reportedly wrote a note to himself reading “Make eyeglasses to see the moon larger.”

There’s no evidence regarding whether he actually ever made such a device; the first known telescope was created about 100 years later.
