# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Amazing Telescope
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 11 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Four centuries ago, a curious thinker named Galileo pointed a crude tube fitted with two small pieces of glass toward the heavens — and nothing was ever the same again. Mountains on the Moon, moons circling Jupiter, the phases of Venus: suddenly the universe was closer, stranger, and far more wondrous than anyone had imagined.

Join us for The Amazing Telescope, a journey from those humble beginnings to the soaring observatories and orbiting space telescopes of today. Discover how telescopes actually work — how light is gathered, bent, and focused to bring the faint and faraway into brilliant view — and how astronomers use these remarkable instruments to study the grand structures woven through our cosmos. Featuring the acclaimed program Two Small Pieces of Glass, the show carries you deep into the night sky to reveal the sights that await any patient observer: glittering star fields, the banded face of distant planets, glowing clouds of nebulae where new stars are born, and entire galaxies swirling far beyond our own.

And there's no better time to look up. Summer is one of the finest seasons for stargazing, when the heart of the Milky Way climbs into the southern sky and a river of stars spills overhead. The famous Summer Triangle — Vega, Deneb, and Altair — rides high, while shimmering star clusters, the delicate glow of the Ring Nebula, and the bright planets of the warm evenings all come within reach of a modest telescope or even a good pair of binoculars. The Amazing Telescope is the perfect way to get ready for the season ahead: learn what to look for, how to find it, and how to turn a clear summer night into an unforgettable encounter with the universe.

The night sky is waiting. Come see what two small pieces of glass can reveal.
