A documentary following the history of the telescope from the days of Copernicus to recent findings
from the Hubble Telescope; 400 Years of the Telescope opens in 17th century Florence, Italy, with Galileo
training his spyglass on the heavens and discovering that Jupiter has four moons; Venus has phases like the Moon;
and most shocking of all: the Earth is not the center of the universe.

Can be purchased:
