Looking back at the last decade of dance in reality television, DWTS boasts a cast of thousands: the hosts, musicians, judges, dancers, celebrities, in-house audience, and the unseen but no less influential audience at home. As reality television featuring dance, ABC smartly straddles trends in popular culture with the harsh disciplines of dance training and performance. Beyond the scope of reality dance television, DWTS revs the media firestorm of tabloid sensationalism by the melodramas enacted weekly through its stars in training, rehearsal, and performance.

Some sciences are of yesterday; others stretch far back into the youth of time. Among these there is one of the beginnings of which we have lost all trace, so coeval was it with the commencement of man’s history; and that science is the one of which we have to trace the instrumental developments. Although our chief task is to enlarge upon the modern, it will not be well, indeed it is impossible, to neglect the old, because, if for no other reason, the welding of old and new has been so perfect, the conquest of the unknown so gradual. The best course therefore will be to distribute the different fields of thought and work into something like marked divisions, and to commence by dividing the whole time during which man has been observing the heavens into two periods, which we will call the Pre-telescopic and the Telescopic Ages. The work of the Pre-telescopic age of course includes all the early observations made by the unaided eye, while that of the Telescopic age includes those of vastly different kinds, which that instrument had rendered possible; so that it divides itself naturally into some three or four sub-ages of extreme importance. It is unnecessary to say one word here on the importance of the invention of the telescope; it is well for the present purpose, however, to emphasize the further distinctions we obtain when we consider the various additions made from time to time to the telescope. The Telescope, in fact, was comparatively little used until astronomy annexed that important branch of physics to its aid which gave us a Clock—a means of dividing time in the most accurate manner. In quite recent times the addition of the Camera to the Telescope marks an important advance; indeed the importance of photography is not yet recognised in the way it should be. Then, again, there is the addition of the Spectroscope, which, though it is only now beginning to yield us rich fruit, really dates from the beginning of the present century. This is an ally to the telescope of such power that he would be a bold man who would venture to set bounds to the conquests their combined forces will make. Now not only is it essential for the proper understanding of the instruments used nowadays in every observatory, by every stargazer, to go back to the origin of the science of observation, but in no other way can one fully see in what way the new instrumental methods have added themselves to the old ones. Further, it is of importance to go back to the actual old field of work in which the geometric conceptions which grew up in the minds of the men of ancient time—conceptions which we are now utilizing and extending—were gradually elaborated. To do this, there is no better way than to dwell very briefly on the work actually done by the old astronomers.

Telescopes are devices for looking at distant objects. They make far-away objects appear nearer and larger by a combination of lenses or mirrors. Telescopes are by a large extent associated with astronomy as an aid in studying the universe. Telescopes are not limited to astronomy though; they also play an active part in sea navigation, in police work and, yes, even spying. While not everyone can appreciate astronomy, anyone does enjoy looking through a telescope from time to time to gaze at the constellation of stars or the moon or witness special events like a lunar eclipse, a meteor shower or a comet falling down from the sky. You can buy a variety of telescopes ranging from the simplest to the most complex types. You can also make your own telescope. It will be a most rewarding experience for you to make one. It's easy and it will save you money. You can start by making the most simple of all, with just 2 lenses. You can buy inexpensive lenses for just a couple of dollars online or at many surplus outlets. Then, as you get the hang of building, you can do several things to improve your simple device and turn it into a more elaborate instrument for looking at the sky and for looking at things here on earth. You can get ambitious in the long run and build more powerful telescopes such as a reflector telescope or a Dobsonian telescope. Make navigating the night sky a fun and thrilling experience for all to remember as a telescope is simply designed for everyone to use without difficulty and to enjoy tremendously.
