The Infinite Vision by Charles C. Winn:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"AT THE opposite extremes of the investigations of scientists arc the studies of the electron and nucleus and quantum which have crowned such scientists as Milligan and Bohr and Rutherford with reputations which will never die.
But on the other end of things we are surrounded by the Stellar Universe where miles are too small to be taken into account, and where the light-year, which is an inconceivable number of miles for the ordinary mind, is the unit of distance, and into this great Stellar Universe the observers of the "International Astronomical Society" are striving to penetrate with their gigantic telescope mounted on the great observatory on the summit of the Andes Mountains. What did they see? What secrets were revealed to them? We have no more to say. Read the story."
