COSMIC MESSAGE

Alvan Clark and Sons were renowned for making telescope optics in the late 19th century. Many major observatories still use their lenses and mirrors. The Lowell Observatory's 24-inch refractor and the Yerkes Observatory's 40-inch refractor, the largest refractor ever built, are among them.
