If we were to increase our policy deductible from $500 to $2500 the premium savings would approach 30%. If your policy was $2500/yr you could be looking at a savings of as much as $750/yr. That would mean that after just 2.7 years you would be ahead of the game in premium savings!
Why do astronomers put telescopes in space? The Earth's atmosphere is about 120 miles thick and anything we see from the surface of the Earth is distorted by the water vapor and debris that is in the air.
The problem with having one telescope able to detect the entire electromagnetic spectrum lies in the differences in detection techniques. Telescopes are designed with one goal in mind: to build a device that interacts with radiation coming from the cosmos, says Dr. Tony Phillips, a radio astronomer now consulting for the Science@NASA web site.
