Because the burst was brighter than a billion suns, many telescopes could study it even from such a huge distance.

The discovery in 1846 of the planet Neptune was a dramatic and spectacular achievement of mathematical astronomy. The very existence of this new member of the solar system, and its exact location, were demonstrated with pencil and paper; there was left to observers only the routine task of pointing their telescopes at the spot the mathematicians had marked.
James Newman
A lot of us have our own telescopes. One of the things we like to do is go out someplace dark and set up our telescopes and look at the sky. When we have a star party, you don't mind deserting your 'scope and going down the hill to see what someone else is looking at.
Walter Russell
For a long time, we've worked on detecting planets with whatever was at hand, making use of existing small telescopes or even amateur telescopes. It's time to move on to the next stage.
Andrew Gould
Books are the compasses and telescopes and sextants and charts which othermen have prepared to help us navigate the dangerous seas of human life.
Jesse Lee Bennett
Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
E. W. Dijkstra
We've focused on being able to detect low wavelength light so this machine is able to see things other telescopes can't.
David Buckley
Even with all our modern telescopes, the professionals can't look at the whole sky at once. But the amateurs are everywhere. With relatively small telescopes, they can see these nearby supernovae, which are very bright - often brighter than their host galaxies.
John Beacom
I had a great view, out in my backyard with a couple of telescopes.
Fred Espenak
The heat signal from this planet is so strong that Spitzer was able to resolve its disk, in the sense that our team could tell we were seeing a round object in the data, not a mere point of light. The current Spitzer observations cannot yet make a temperature map of this world, but more observations by Spitzer or future infrared telescopes in space may be able to do that.
Drake Deming
There is something about looking at the actual sky with your own eyes. It just sort of reminds me of growing up and looking at the stars with small telescopes.
Patrick Morrissey
We don't require our astronomers to explore the heavens with 19th century telescopes, and we don't require our geologists to study the Earth with a tape measure. If we are serious about realizing the promise of stem cell research, our biomedical researchers need access to the best stem cell lines available.
Tom Harkin
We think of it as exploring the time frontier. At the bigger observatories, they go to frontiers by building bigger telescopes. Here, we go to a frontier by observing for a longer period of time.
William Herbst
Our Spitzer data, combined with data obtained by other telescopes, will allow us to determine which of these objects are truly at the galactic center, and which are in spiral arms along the way. This survey will help us to better understand the mass distribution and structure of our own galaxy and how it compares to other galaxies.
Dr. Susan Stolovy
The southern Milky Way is more spectacular and provides a richer treasure trove of objects than the northern Milky Way. We're now players in the world of large telescopes. We're in an age in which answering the big, fundamental questions requires access to large telescopes in good, dark skies. SALT is just such a telescope.
Eric Wilcots
We find them smaller and fainter, in constantly increasing numbers, and we know that we are reaching into space, farther and farther, until, with the faintest nebulae that can be detected with the greatest telescopes, we arrive at the frontier of the known universe.
