Einstein’s long-lost telescope emerges

In this undated photo made available by the Hebrew Univ. in Jerusalem on Monday, Sept. 22, 2008, an unidentified man adjust a telescope that once belonged to Albert Einstein, at the Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew Univ. in Jerusalem. Students and visitors at the Hebrew Univ. in Jerusalem will be able to look at the stars through Albert Einstein's long lost telescope starting Thursday, university officials said, after it was retrieved from a storage shed and renovated.

It’s unlikely Einstein had much use for the telescope in his work, but it was made by a friend of his and given to him in 1954, just a year before his death.
