Next year will mark the telescope's 400th anniversary. Since then, the telescope has transformed how humans view the universe and our place in it.

In his book, The Telescope: Its History, Technology, and Future, Geoff Andersen examines these instruments, their designs, and how scopes have influenced society. In this week's show, Andersen talks about his book and tackles other telescope topics.

You can find this book on Amazon.com.
