Space Telescope

Famous quotes containing the words space and/or telescope:

“As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.”

“The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy; the shock of the electric spark in the elbow, outvalues all the theories; the taste of the nitrous oxide, the firing of an artificial volcano, are better than volumes of chemistry.”
