Welcome!
Welcome to the weblog of Interstellar Studio’s PBS production “400 Years of the Telescope”. We invite all of the Northstate to share with us this adventure of work and passion, and join us vicariously through this blog.
We will do our best to keep you updated on day-to-day events in the field, as well as the studio. Look forward to blogging from different crew members, and candid video footage from the field, plus sneak peaks at material to be included in the final production.
Over the next few months we will travel to some of the world’s greatest observatories, and historical sites significant to astronomy. These include observatories in the American southwest, Virginia, Hawaii, the Canary Islands and Chile. Our historical wanderings will take us to Ireland, to Cambridge, Stonehenge, Chichen Itza, Florence, and Holland. You’ll see how we re-enact Copernicus’ death and the development of technology that changed the way humanity sees itself in the universe.
From all of us at Interstellar Studios, welcome to the journey.
