Today, Google Celebrates 400th Anniversary of Galileo's Telescope with a special logo on their homepage.
In 1609, Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei, introduced an elementary telescope to the world. This sparked fascination with mysteries of the night sky for centuries to come. In 2009, the world came together to mark the 400-year anniversary of one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of all time.
Celestron proudly paid tribute to Galileo's Telescope in our recent animated FirstScope Telescope tour.
Earlier this month we have launched a new version of our shopping cart. In addition to being faster and more user friendly, it features a list of products and accessories purchased by other users that bought the item you are looking add.
We hope that this addition will help you quickly locate the products and accessories for your particular application.
