Two Small Pieces of Glass: The Amazing Telescope Mondays through Fridays: July 6 through August 2, 2009 Saturdays and Sundays: August 8 through August 30, 2009 Four hundred years ago, a simple adjustment to a child's spy glass revealed for the first time an infinite and perplexing universe to our eyes and our imaginations. Join us today as the world's greatest telescopes, born of that serendipitous moment, gaze ever further into the distant past-and into our future.
