Pay tribute to the men and women who brought us one step closer to understanding the universe around us with the FirstScope. This entry level astronomical telescope is created in honor of Galileo Galilei and many of history’s most notable astronomers and scientists, and it proudly displays their names around the optical tube. A quality Dobsonian style telescope, the FirstScope features a 76mm aperture reflector optical tube that is very easy to observe with — simply navigate the night sky by moving the tube in the direction of your desired object. Compact and lightweight, the scope can travel into the field with you easily, yet makes a decorative accent on your desk or as a classroom display when not in use.

This colorful, graphically rich chart illustrates and summarizes what is now known about the history and fate of the universe. Developed by scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) in collaboration with the Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP) and George Smoot, Nobel prize winner for 2006, the chart is crammed with information covering a broad range of cosmological topics. The centerpiece is an evolutionary timeline that takes viewers from 10-44 seconds, when the universe was much smaller than a proton, to the current era, about 14 billion years later, when the visible universe contains 4 x 1011 billion galaxies. Side panels provide short discussions on the birth, inflation and expansion of the universe, the cosmic microwave background and redshifts of distant supernovas.
