Telescope Reviews and Information
This is one of those sites with ‘sights’ to behold -- because the view can be closer than imagined. We will travel in a speed beyond our imagination while our feet are still firmly held on to the ground. The universe, at least a part of it, will unfold before us. The sights we are about to see will enthrall us, perhaps we will become like kids again, at least for a moment.
How is that? Did we say bring in the telescope? Yes, that tubular equipment, you simply call, the telescope, will make it possible for you.
Before we begin let us briefly gaze into the origin of telescope. It all started in 600 A.D, a Dutch named Hans Lippershey put two lenses together and looked through them to see the church down the road, the building appeared huge and near, he thought he could touch it! He started piercing lenses together and named his first discovery as the “Looker”.
Then Italian scientist, Galileo heard about the “Looker” -- an idea that propelled an unparalleled discovery, to a whole-new world. Galileo used the “Looker” upwards and discovered startling evidence that the moon has craters, Jupiter has four moons and the earth belongs to a “dispersed cloud of light” later known as the Milky Way. And yes Copernicus was right all along - the sun is the center of the universe!
In one banquet to celebrate the discovery, someone from among the crowd gave Galileo’s instrument a new name. Yes, the “telescope”
Here now…we have come to understand that we will travel as far as our sight takes us, through the power of our telescope. The “looker” has evolved now to become a ‘refractor telescope’ or a ‘reflector’, and what difference does it make? A Bushnell, Saxon, Tasco or a Mead?
