“A lot of us have our own telescopes. One of the things we like to do is go out someplace dark and set up our telescopes and look at the sky. When we have a star party, you don't mind deserting your 'scope and going down the hill to see what someone else is looking at.”
Walter Russell
“The one that can see years ahead has a telescope, but he can't make anybody believe that he has it.”
Will Rogers
“Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two has the grander view?”
Victor Hugo
“We don't require our astronomers to explore the heavens with 19th century telescopes, and we don't require our geologists to study the Earth with a tape measure. If we are serious about realizing the promise of stem cell research, our biomedical researchers need access to the best stem cell lines available.”
Tom Harkin
“However, to actually know what your seeing, a small telescope would be useful.”
Alan Harris
“In a large telescope the motion would be perceptible against any stars in the field more or less in real time, sort of like watching the second hand on a clock, ... not quite that fast, but noticeable.”
“They're good for sweeping around for the comet and actually give you a better view actually than a big telescope.”
