Two Small Pieces of Glass: The Amazing Telescope

Explore the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years

Two Small Pieces of Glass: The Amazing Telescope was produced to engage and appeal to audiences of all ages. The film traces the history of the telescope from Galileo's modifications to a child's spyglass — using two small pieces of glass — to the launch of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the future of astronomy. It explores the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years.

This show is preceded by a Seasonal Sky Tonight show.
