Examples

“It needs a scientific telescope, it needs to be reinterpreted and artificially brought near us, before we can so much as know⟳ that it was a Sun.”

“It is scarcely possible to avoid⟳ comparing the eye to a telescope.”

“About ten months ago a report⟳ reached my ears that a Dutchman had constructed a telescope, by the aid of which visible objects, although at a great distance from the eye of the observer, were seen distinctly as if near; […]”

“This was one of the great missed opportunities of theoretical physics. If Einstein had stuck with his original equations, he could have⟳ predicted that the universe must be either expanding or contracting. As it was, the possibility of a time-dependent universe wasn't taken seriously until observations in the 1920s by the 100-inch telescope on Mount⟳ Wilson.”

“The 1.2-meter-diameter (4-foot-diameter) telescope has set⟳ off on a monthlong journey to its orbital destination of the sun-Earth Lagrange point⟳ L2, which is nearly 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) away from Earth and also home to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Euclid will keep⟳ pace with Earth as our planet orbits the sun.”

“In some studios the telescopes are fixed to the lighting grid […]”

“Chinese Telescopes are sold by some dealers for young Japanese Fringetails. For this reason⟳ it is well to select⟳ a reliable dealer when purchasing choice stock⟳.”
