To celebrate the 100th
anniversary of Albert Einstein's most famous scientific papers, I
took my telescope down to the National Academy of Sciences in
Washington DC and photographed it next to the Albert Einstein
Memorial. He seems to be pondering its use!
If you look closely, you'll
notice that there are no mount rings holding the telescope to the
mount. That's because I forgot them! I had to hold the scope with
one hand as my wife took the picture. I later removed my hand from
the shot with Photoshop.
This photo was selected as
NASA's
Astronomy Picture
Of the Day
(APOD) for
April 22nd, 2005. The
next day it was PhotoShoped on
