Télescopes terrestres
Description
Scans performed by the … indicate the presence of a derelict space station in the … System.
It looks like it was deposited there by a passing cosmic storm. Life signs return negative, and there are no power signals of any kind. Two massive telescopes protrude from opposite sides of the station. These optical instruments appear advanced, and far too large relative to the station's size. The technology and architecture are not yet familiar to us.
We could attempt to reactivate the telescopes, as this could yield some interesting insights.

Description
Boarding the station and activating the telescopes took some finessing from our …, but it was nothing they could not handle. However, the corner of the galaxy the instruments were pointed at showed nothing of note.
Some interesting artifacts were found scattered around the station: detailed images recorded from the telescopes, neatly presented in decorative frames. Every single capture is focussed on cosmic storms, with multiple prints of each storm that has passed through this system. The telescope operator used different angles, zoom levels, and even artistic tilts to show the storms in their best light.
Upon deeper investigation, the artwork is the only interesting find aboard the abandoned station. We will archive them so many future generations can enjoy these images of rare power and beauty.
