Not Just Stars
and Planets
By now, you have gotten to know a few of the things you can see in the
night sky with your telescope. But there's a lot more that the telescope can
do. Just as you can use those panoramic telescopes or binoculars to view
mountains or vistas at tourist lookout points, so too can you use your
telescope to view your surroundings here on the ground. And it has a
greater magnification than most tourist binoculars.
You'll be able to see distant animals, mountain
tops, or ships on the ocean so close
that it's almost as if you
could reach out and touch
them with your hand!
