Looking millions of light-years into deep space requires a special kind of glass telescope. Prior to the 1980s telescopes were limited in size and too heavy to follow the motion of specific stars traveling through space. You'll never bee-lieve where scientists found their engineering inspiration to overcome this challenge. Hint: It involves a sweet honeycomb structure. . . . Join us as we countdown to Kavli by geautring the brilliant breakthroughs and Eureka! moments of the Kavli award winners from the last decade. The 2018 Kavli Prize will be announced via livestream on May 31st. Will you be tuning in? . . . Which scientist(s) do you want to win on May 31st? #Kavlicountdown #astrophysics #astronomy #cosmos #brilliant #breakthroughs #science #education #NASA #space #exploration #glass #engineering #WSF18
