  • "<Em>New Telescope Sees All! Amazing Secrets to Be Revealed! </em>So the headlines read in the <em>New York Sun</em> one day in the summer of 1835. For a week straight, the newspaper printed stories and pictures of the discoveries made using a new telescope in far-off Africa. And on the streets of New York City, hundreds of newsboys shouted the headlines at the top of their lungs: <em>Heavens Filled with Buffalo! Moon Beavers! Man Bats! We Are Not Alone! </em>Every day, newsboys Jake and Charlie sold their stacks of newspapers quickly. The good business paid off for them - they could even afford a room at a boarding house. As they jingled the coins in their pockets, they wondered about what they were reading. Would the man bats fly to Earth? Would a moon ship carry treasure hunters into the sky? And would their good fortune last?"
