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.
When building his telescope, Galileo did not think of the scientific uses of this instrument, its technological capabilities seeming to him sufficiently important. It was after few months he had built the telescope that Galileo began using it to observe the heavens.ithin two months, Galileo completed the task of building the first astronomical telescope. Like the Dutch artisans, Galileo also used his knowledge of lenses and a process of trial and error in order to improve his telescope. He had no sound scientific theory to go on.
