The Keck Telescope Model Kit $18.95 The Keck Telescope To get an idea of the scale of this giant Earth-based telescope, notice the tiny railings surrounding the central hexagon and its jutting platforms. They’re a little taller than waist-height. The twin Keck Telescopes, on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, are indeed huge. They each have four times the light-collecting area of the 200-inch Hale Telescope on Mount Palomar, which, until Keck, was the world’s premier astronomical telescope. Builders of the massive Hale had reached the limit of their technology. A telescope of Hale’s construction having 4x its light collecting area would have had about eight times its mass – technically and financially an impossibility to construct. But the Keck Telescopes are not massive behemoths of the old school. Their use of computers, and highly advanced mechanical and systems designs have introduced a new paradigm. This Space Craft SCIENCE KIT shows exactly what that new paradigm is. As you build the structure, you see first hand how strong the lightweight structure becomes by virtue of its design. You see exactly how all 36 lightweight mirror segments are floated by computer-controlled actuators which maintain the overall mirror’s perfect shape. And you can see exactly where the sensors are that let the computer do that. You see how stable its mounting system is (Keck uses a computer-controlled azimuth-elevation mounting system, a departure from the equatorial systems of older telescopes, with their asymmetric load bearing). All these concepts become perfectly clear, right at your fingertips. But let’s go back to those waist-high railings. The scale of this model is close to the model-railroad “N” guage, so it isn’t hard to find tiny plastic human figures or vehicles which, when displayed with the Keck model, illustrate its startling size. |

Hubble Space Telescope Pocket Guide – Autographed by Story Musgrave $20 Hubble Space Telescope Pocket Guide – Autographed by Story Musgrave The Hubble Telescope’s tasks has been listed as: Explore the solar system Measure the age and size of the universe Search for our cosmic roots Chart the evolution of the universe Unlock the mysteries of galaxies, stars, planets, and life itself From its unique vantage point 600 kilometers above the surface of the Earth, the Hubble Space Telescope looks out into space to capture dazzling images from distant stars which would be impossible to obtain from the ground. The Hubble Space Telecope is mankind’s eyes on the universe.The dazzling vistas that the Hubble Space Telescope has recorded since its launch in 1990 are presented, along with the explanations of what exactly Hubble has seen during it’s years in orbit. It tells the complete Hubble story – from the program’s shaky start to the extraordinary success that followed, inspiring bigger and better successors in the years to follow. Line drawings of its hardware offer a supplementary understanding of Hubble’s technological development.

Hubble Space Telescope Illuminated Crystal Sculpture $99.97 Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hubble in orbit in 2010! Put the experience of our world in a greater space right on your desk with this beautiful Hubble Space Telescope Illuminated Crystal Sculpture. This piece was made for the Voyage National Program. A national treasure, the Hubble Space Telescope has dramatically altered both the depth and breadth of knowledge concerning our Solar System, our galaxy, and the universe. Its images are breathtaking and humbling, and its accomplishments are now known by billions of humans on planet Earth. We should take pride in the human capacity to build such an exquisite instrument of exploration. This art was originally commissioned by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation for inclusion in the Explorers Stanchion of the Voyage model Solar System in Kansas City, Kansas. The Explorers Stanchion is located in front of Kansas City’s historic Union Station. This beautiful crystal sculpture captures the Hubble Space Telescope in low Earth orbit, peering into the depths of space. The sculpture comes with a large light base. The light base uses a 120-v power cord with no battery option. |
