Welcome to the Universe... close up!
Whether you are wanting to get close up with the stars, or are just planning to see more of the world around you, telescopes let you zoom in to almost anything you see.
Depending upon your needs and budget, there are different types of telecopes. Refractor Telecopes are for beginners, or those on smaller budgets. They use lenses to bend the light.
For those with bigger budgets, who want to get large sharp images of the moon and the planets, you should consider a Reflector Telecope. These use large mirrors.
