Using a Telescope

We can magnify the light that comes from the universe at night. It is even possible with some telescopes to look at the contours of the sun hiding it. But we should not look at the sun with the telescope because the light would blind, rather put a sheet outside the telescope. Attention to the eyes! The sun can destroy them.

The telescope is to be used at night. An Astronomy Channel allows you to choose a telescope to look at planets. A computer connected to the telescope motor allows the telescope to be oriented. Free software allows you to make the telescope moving, depending on where you are. Thus, we can see a planet moving in the night.

My Notes

Watch an Astronomy Channel.
