Packed with dozens of fun and easy stargazing projects and activities. Telescope Power doesn't just tell you about all the beauty and mystery of the stars but lets you see it all for yourself! You begin your tour of the Universe by setting your sights on nearby neighbors in our Solar System. You'll hunt for blue lunar flashes, spot lunar landing sites, and use color filters to observe the changing seasons on Mars and the spectacular rings of Saturn. From there, it's off to more distant stars. You'll learn how to read a star atlas and identify the various constellations: locate binary stars Mizar and Alcor; use a finder chart to observe the beautiful Globular Cluster M-13 and the Ring Nebula Lyra: visit the Great Spiral Galaxy in Andromeda (twin sister to our own Milky Way Galaxy); and a lot more. You'll also learn about the different types of telescopes and how they work; how to set up your telescope; the \"care and feeding\" of telescopes; the best accessories to try, including different eyepieces, filters, clock drives, and star wheels; and how to share your experiences with other young astronomers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eUNDERSTANDING YOUR TELESCOPE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Telescope in History.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e How Your Telescope Works.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Selecting Your Telescope and Its Accessories.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e OBSERVING WITH YOUR TELESCOPE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Observing the Moon.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tracking the Planets.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Following the Stars.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Observing the Sun.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Glossary of Astronomical Terms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Picture books, activity books \u0026amp; early learning material [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Picture books, activity books \u0026amp; early learning material\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Picture%20books,%20activity%20books%20\u0026amp;%20early%20learning%20material%20%5BYB%5D%22\"\u003eYB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52297995714840,"sku":"9780471580393","price":11.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471580393.jpg?v=1781730338","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/telescope-power-fantastic-activities-easy-projects-for-young-astronomers-paperback-softback-9780471580393","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
