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.
Although optical telescopes are the type most commonly used for stargazing and amateur astronomy, lots of astronomical research is done on telescopes that look at other wavelengths of light. Each of these wavelength ranges shows us something unique about the universe and allows us to view events and objects that can't be seen with human eyes.
