It's going to blow your mind. And not only is it going to blow your mind because you're doing it, you're going to feel unique in all of science. You will feel what Galileo felt. You won't know that he felt it before you. A billion people have seen it since then. Because for you, it's new. And for you, you're viscerally connected to the maestro, to Galileo, and what he did.

And there's no other branch of science that's like that. You can't look at the Higgs boson. First of all, no one person did. It's a team of 3,700 people that discovered the Higgs boson. And seven people predicted the Higgs boson. Higgs is just one of them. One of my professors at Brown was another one, Jared Gralnick. He passed away, unfortunately. He never won the Nobel Prize, but...

But the point is you can't know what that felt like. You can't know what it felt like to discover gravitational waves because thousands of people did it recently in 2015. But the question of visceral connection to the first discoverer of that phenomenon, it's unique to astronomy. I don't know of another branch of science where you can have that.

And best of all, from here in the center of LA, you can see the same craters. You can see these four Galilean – they're called the Galilean moons of Jupiter – And we're sending spacecraft there now to see if they have life on it. It's incredible, Andrew. There's nothing else like that in all of science. For $50 to $60, I have a list on my website, BrianKeating.com.

I have a telescope buyer's guide that I send to people. I don't make any money from it. It's just I love to share science with the public, just like you. But in my case, it's astronomy. And for $50 or $75, you can have this experience that Galileo had. It's an awesome feeling. I think that's what kept me going.

It distracted me from the pains of the life that I had at that time and just struggling as most preteens and teenagers did. But to answer your question that you asked 20 minutes ago, it was really to transport, teleport exactly the opposite of the telescope. I really felt like I was transported to these other worlds. And I could understand them with simple math and simple tools.
