  • Summary

  • Once, we believed the heavens were perfect and unchanging—celestial spheres spun by divine hands.

    But then came the telescope.

    Galileo lifted it skyward and shattered centuries of belief, revealing mountains on the Moon and moons circling Jupiter. With each turn of the lens, the universe grew larger—and our place in it, smaller.

    From those first tremors of truth, we built ever more powerful eyes:
    Hubble, floating above the atmosphere, showed us galaxies dancing at the edge of time.
    James Webb, with its golden gaze, now peers into the universe’s first light—unfolding mysteries written in stardust.

    This is the story of how telescopes didn’t just help us see the stars—
    they helped us rethink everything.
