"During the 1840's, the third Earl
of Rosse designed and had built the mirrors, tube and mountings for a 72
inch reflecting telescope which was the largest in the world at
that time and remained so for three quarters of a century. With
this instrument, situated near the middle of Ireland, Lord Rosse
was able to study and record details of immensely distant stellar
objects and to provide evidence that many of these mysterious nebulae
were actually galaxies located far outside our own."
