| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“These telescopes were all reflectors; that is, instead of looking up at a star through a tube with a glass in the upper end [Herschel] would look down into the tube away from the star and see its reflecting in a concave mirror at the lower end of the tube."—The Foundation Library, 1911
