Cardsmiths Space – Galactic Edition – Telescope #59 – Emerald 91/99

Description:
The telescope, a lens-based device that magnifies distant objects, revolutionized humanity’s ability to study the heavens. While Hans Lippershey is often credited with its invention, Galileo’s improvements in the early 1600s made it a cornerstone of astronomy, enabling detailed observations of celestial bodies and sparking a new era of scientific discovery.

Quote (Back of Card):
“A lens device that magnifies faraway objects, the telescope is crucial to studying space. It’s uncertain who invented it – Hans Lippershey usually gets credit, but astronomer Galileo improved upon it greatly and pointed it toward the heavens.”
