Anyone who has looked at the moon or a shooting star through a telescope knows the thrill of seeing something so literally out of this world. The Porter Garden Telescope was created by Russell Porter, considered one of the founding fathers of amateur astronomy and telescope-making, in the 1920s—and while one of the rare originals sits in the Smithsonian, Telescopes of Vermont is recreating the sculpture-like piece with hand-finished cast bronze. Made in the United States with upgraded modern optics, it sends gazers higher up than they ever could have imagined.
