If I include my years as a student, I've been involved in the field of astronomy for very nearly three decades now, and only this evening I learn what a telescope is. During that time I've been privileged to see and take part in some of the most extraordinary discoveries ever made, but today's revelation tops it all.
"Close one eye, find something to look at in front of you, then look at something behind you at the same time. That is a telescope."
The Dutch spectacle makers that invented the telescope and Galileo are all spinning in their graves right now.
