An old idea gives telescopes a fresh twist Putting a new twist on an old idea, an inventor has designed a telescope instrument that could dramatically boost the ability of astronomers to find objects in space, even alien worlds. It's called a Dittoscope, and while it sounds like a piece of copying tec...
