Two young students attend a star party and learn about different types of telescopes. In the course of the evening they also learn how Galileo modified an early spyglass using Two Small Pieces of Glass to discover the rings of Saturn and the four biggest moons orbiting Jupiter. This discovery led to being able to finally prove that the earth was not the center of the solar system.
