IN MY GRANDFATHER'S TIME, AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY

THE NIGHT SKY IS THE GREATEST SHOW AROUND.

EVEN ON SUNDAYS, ASSUMING THE WEATHER HOLDS.

PART OF ITS POWER IS ITS INFINITE MYSTERY.

NO ONE KNOWS WHERE STARS COME FROM OR WHY THEY SHINE.

WHAT THE TRUE NATURE OF MATTER REALLY IS.

BUT THEN, WITHIN A FEW YEARS, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.

THERE ARE REVOLUTIONS IN ASTRONOMY AND PHYSICS

ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE AND SPACE AND TIME

Osgood: FROM THE MOMENT THE TELESCOPE IS INVENTED

EVER LARGER AND MORE ELABORATE TELESCOPES

TELESCOPES ARE SO LARGE AND REVEAL SO MANY STARS

ASTRONOMERS ARE WORKING OVERTIME JUST TO CATALOGUE THEM.

THERE SEEMS LITTLE NEED TO BUILD EVEN BIGGER INSTRUMENTS

IF ALL THEY CAN DO IS FIND MORE STARS TO CATALOGUE.

A BIG ENOUGH TELESCOPE WILL CHANGE ASTRONOMY

THAT PASSION BRINGS HIM TO MOUNT WILSON IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

E AIR IS ALMOST ALWAYS FREE OF TURBULENCE AND CLOUDS.

IT'S THE PERFECT SPOT FOR AN OBSERVATORY.

OF STEEL TYCOON AND PHILANTHROPIST ANDREW CARNEGIE

HALE SETS OUT IN 1908 TO BUILD ON MOUNT WILSON

THE INSTRUMENT HE ENVISIONS WILL BE ALMOST TWICE THE SIZE

IT WILL COLLECT AND FOCUS LIGHT WITH A MIRROR 100 INCHES WIDE.

HALE'S ENTHUSIASM IS INFECTIOUS AND PERSUASIVE.

OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHALLENGE HE'S UNDERTAKING.

Man: NOBODY IS POURING GLASS, MOLTEN GLASS

NOBODY IS CREATING THE KINDS OF BEAMS AND GIRDERS

THESE THINGS WEIGH HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS OF TONS.

YOU HAVE TO BUILD THE LIVING QUARTERS FOR THE ASTRONOMERS.

THESE ARE ALMOST KIND OF TECHNOLOGICAL KINGDOMS

AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN DESIGNED ON THIS SCALE BEFORE.

Osgood: THINGS SEEM TO GO WRONG FROM THE START.

THE MIRROR HAS TO BE THE LARGEST SOLID PIECE OF GLASS EVER MADE.

ENOUGH GREEN GLASS FOR 10,000 CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES

AND THEN PACKS THE WHOLE THING IN MANURE TO SLOWLY COOL IT.

AND EACH TIME, THE GIANT DISKS CRACK AS THEY COOL.

HALE ORDERS HIS OPTICIANS TO GRIND THE FIRST

IT TAKES FOUR YEARS OF GRINDING AND POLISHING

THE STEEL SECTIONS OF THE TELESCOPE ITSELF

SOME ARE SO BIG THEY MUST BE SHIPPED BY BOAT TO CALIFORNIA.

AND GERMAN SUBMARINES ARE A CONSTANT THREAT.

HALE'S WORRIES ABOUT THE PROJECT BEGIN TO AFFECT HIS HEALTH.

WHO MIGHT COME TO HIS BED OR SIT ON HIS SHOULDER

PERHAPS TO GIVE HIM ADVICE ABOUT HOW TO RUN HIS LIFE

THE ELF PERHAP WORK OUT SOME OF THIS STRESS.

Osgood: WHATEVER IT IS THAT CARRIES HALE THROUGH

ON NOVEMBER 2, 1917, THE 100-INCH TELESCOPE IS FINISHED.

ITS 9,000-POUND MIRROR CAN DETECT A CANDLE

WHAT HALE HAS BUILT IS ONE OF THE MARVELS OF THE 20th CENTURY.
