Richard Gillespie, head of the History and Technology department at the Melbourne museum has written an entertaining account of the telescope's extraordinary history and tells the story through an amazing cast of characters whose lives intersected with the telescope. 606 $aTelescopes$zAustralia$zMelbourne (Vic.)$xHistory 606 $aAstronomers$zAustralia$zMelbourne (Vic.)$xHistory 606 $aAstronomy$zAustralia$zMelbourne (Vic.)$xHistory 615 0$aTelescopes$xHistory. 615 0$aAstronomers$xHistory. 615 0$aAstronomy$xHistory. 676 $a522 676 $a522/.2 700 $aGillespie$b R$g(Richard) 712 02$aMuseum Victoria. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911144894903321 997 $aUNINA
