Describes some existing and future telescopes and what they can tell us about outer space, with particular emphasis on the "Edwin P. Hubble Space Telescope," as big as a bus, able to spot a lit candle a quarter of a million miles away, and which will begin orbiting Earth in the late eighties, gathering information previously unavailable to us.
