wondered if your eyes were enough to capture all it has to offer?
Spoiler alert: They’re not! While our eyes are absolutely amazing,
they are also full of flaws. Nearsightedness, astigmatism, and even
pesky floaters! But did you know these same flaws are mirrored in
the world’s most advanced telescopes? In this episode, I discuss
common eye deficiencies and explain how they affect our ability to
observe the stars. I compare them to the optical imperfections in
telescopes, such as chromatic and spherical aberration.  Tune
in to learn more about nature’s first telescopes!  This
episode is part 2 of a series where we’ll uncover even more
intriguing insights about the connections between our eyes and
telescopes, so stay tuned! Check out part 1:
