Designed and developed by a Melbourne based team ENESS. The Humble Telescope is an interactive civic sculpture that brings the wonders of space down to earth and encourages us learn more about the universe in a whole new way.

Inside the telescope exists a 3D simulation of our entire known universe. Pointing the telescope in any direction immediately shows us what exists in that area of space, so now we can get a greater understanding of where the planets are and where we live in the Milky Way.
