Light-Chasers: The Vision of the Classical Western Telescopes

God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

Light gives life and ignites understanding.

Guided by light, ancient people lived by the sun’s rhythm.

Inspired by light, sages studied its nature and unraveled vision.

Drawn by light, humans gazed at the cosmos and sought its laws.

Since the 17th century, telescopes have expanded our sight—revealing new worlds, overturning the old.

Through it all, human curiosity and faith in science have shone like a beam, cutting through doubt and lighting the way forward.
