First Light: The Telescope Changed Everything introduces us to the beauty and wonder of the night sky. Most of us still see the sky today as our ancestors did - with our unaided eyes. From Earth, it's hard to understand why the sky looks and behaves the way it does. But Galileo's historic observations, and the era of modern science they ignited, changed all that. From Los Angeles today, you travel back to Padua, Italy in 1609 and experience for yourself how the telescope changed everything.
