Origin[]
Originally owned by French astrophysicist, Évry Schatzman during his study of white dwarfs out in deep space and became imprinted and imbued with the power to recreate white dwarfs in a miniaturized form.
Effects[]
When the lenses of the telescope are focused and light is shown through the telescope, it creates a miniature white dwarf star that dissipates after an hour. However, if the star is over exposed by the telescope for a extended period of time it will cause a chain reaction that can slowly turn the white dwarf into a real star by drawing from the energy around its surroundings.
The telescope's lens must be regularly tuned or the telescope will start drawing energy and create the white dwarf on it's own.
Collection[]
This artifact was collected on June 15th, 1945 by Agent Sam Rothane in Edmond, Kentucky inside the Mammoth Cave National Park as it was used as a light source until it spiraled out of control and nearly caused a supernova to explode.
Appearances[]
This artifact was mentioned in the season 4 episode "Parks and Rehabilitation". The lens require re-focusing at regular intervals to keep it 'happy'.
