Some 400 years after the first known patent application for a telescope, this full-color book surveys its impact on society and our perceptions of the Universe. Renowned contributors discuss the historical background of the field, past and current research, the science behind astronomy, and open questions raised by modern astronomical and cosmological research. The book also looks beyond questions of science to the role of moral responsibility in human civilizations, offering perspectives from both Eastern and Western cultures. Celebrating the historical significance of the telescope, this unique book seeks to inspire all those involved or interested in the enterprise of astronomy.
