firmament Explanation: as an alternative to vault of heaven / heavens /sky. I've never heard of it used as part of a telescope. Do you have any more information? |

enclosure Explanation: ... or dome. See reference link. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-04-29 15:12:54 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And FWIW, I would say a simple \"sky\" is more commonly used to refer to the \"vault of heaven\" when describing what a telescope can see. \"Vault of heaven\" tends to used in more poetic contexts (or in transaltions from Italian...).
