For most of human history, the planets and stars have only been tiny points of light, floating in a dark sky many millions—or even trillions—of miles away. People began by organizing the sky into constellations, cataloging the stars by brightness, and then - the invention of the telescope harnessed the power of light and expanded our view! Now, it’s your turn to explore light and discover what it teaches us about the Universe!
