COSMIC MESSAGE
By 1901, advances in photography gave astronomers a powerful new tool. George Ritchey, an American astronomer and telescope designer, captured this image of the star-forming Orion Nebula. The original glass plate recorded details not visible through a telescope eyepiece, revealing the nebula in a way that is still recognizable to astrophotographers today.
