"Since the early 1600s, telescopes have helped us look to the stars. Early telescopes used two glass lenses to focus light.

To see dim objects that are far away, these mirrors must be very large--larger than could fit in a telescope you'd have in your bedroom. In this volume, readers will learn about the components of a telescope and the role each...

Almost a half-century after its completion, the 200-inch Palomar telescope remains an unparalleled combination of vast scale and microscope detail. As huge as the Pantheon of Rome and as heavy as the Statue of Liberty, this magnificent instrument is so precisely built that its seventeen-foot mirror was hand-polished to a tolerance of 2/1,000,000 of an inch.
