HOW ASTRONOMERS DISCOVER THE UNIVERSE (c1960)

Description:
How Astronomers Discover the Universe (c. 1960) takes viewers on a mid-century journey through the tools and techniques that opened humanity’s eyes to the cosmos. Using telescopes, photography, and early electronic instruments, astronomers of the era reveal how science expanded our understanding of stars, planets, and galaxies long before the space age truly began.

Digitally restored from a vintage 16 mm classroom print, this educational film captures the wonder and optimism of a time when discovery meant looking skyward from observatories on Earth — a reminder of how far our search for knowledge has come.
