of Newton's Original Telescope
This limited
edition telescope replicates the material and handmade
technology that existed in Newton’s era. View the skies as
Newton did in 1672 with this operational replica. Newton’s
reflecting telescope, with a compact size of only 30cm, was
unprecedented and made the existing giant-sized telescopes
obsolete. It was the beginning of a new era in telescope design.
