The Telescope

The Telescope was a magazine for amateur astronomers published between 1931 and 1941. The magazine was first published as a quarterly under the editorship of Harlan Stetson, director of the Perkins Observatory in Ohio. It featured popular articles about contemporary research. In 1934 Stetson moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts and brought the magazine with him. Publishing duties were assumed jointly by the Harvard College Observatory and the Bond Astronomical Club, under the editorship of Donald H. Menzel. The Telescope became a bimonthly publication at this time.

In 1941, The Telescope was merged with The Sky, creating Sky & Telescope magazine, which has remained in publication ever since.

The Telescope (album)

The Telescope is a studio album by Her Space Holiday which was released in 2006 only on a Japanese label. The songs have a consistent theme and tell a story of love and isolation with varying degrees of melancholy, hope, conflict, fulfillment and alienation. They are apparently written about the same woman. The cover depicts a room full of books with a boy staring through a telescope directly at a girl standing at the other end. There are themes of conflict in the lyrics not just between the lovers but with unlabeled enemies. Most of the tracks are instrumental with titles to indicate which part of the story they relate to. The final track is an extended spoken word story of the love between the two.
