Hmmm... how often did he look behind himself?

We were sitting at an outdoor place in a park in Warsaw having a restful 
interlude. Witold explained the Russian tradition to sit for a few 
minutes before embarking, in this case us getting prepared to go off to 
the airport to return to NYC. Anyways, the place was behind and outside 
of the Polish Ministry of Astronomy and Witold pointed out to us that on 
top of the building, in a very symmetrical outlay, were two telescope 
enclosures (my rude comment was that the social realist bumps looked 
like architectural elements) and, somewhere along in my being corrected 
for my lack of serious political correction, Witold told us that not 
only had Poland produced Copernicus but from this very observatory that 
we were sitting near to that Poland had the first stereoscopic 
astronomical observatory and that the Poles were the first to map out a 
3-D map of the cosmos.
