Einstein Telescope Goes on Display
After three years and $10,000 spent restoring the relic, Albert Einstein's long lost telescope goes on display this week. It was forgotten for decades in a Jerusalem storage shed. It is cumbersome by modern standards, but a demonstration of the old reflecting telescope for the Associated Press showed it still works well enough to see five of Jupiter's moons and stripes on the surface of the huge planet. I think it must be worth a great deal of money since it belonged to Einstein even though it is an old style. I am sure a collector would pay big bucks for it. Very interesting, don't you think?
