  • Eyes to the Stars (Part 2) - From Crude Tubes to Cosmic Windows
    May 8 2025

    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.

  • Eyes to the Stars (Part 1) - Ancient Seekers to Dutch Breakthrough
    May 7 2025

    Before we reached for the stars, we first learned to bend light.

    It began in silence—an Egyptian artisan polishing crystal for a pharaoh’s gaze, unaware that his lens gave stone a glint of life.

    Across centuries and civilizations, from the nimble hands of Indian jewelers and Chinese sages to the curious minds of Greek philosophers, the power to magnify slowly took shape.

    But it wasn’t until a Dutch watchmaker, tinkering with glass and gears, accidentally aligned two lenses that the distant suddenly became near—
    and humanity opened its first true eye to the universe.
